Rulings/References. Thanks
In Canada we have a lovely penalty called "No Yards". That's when a Team A player in an offside position in relation to the kicker is within 5 yards of the Team B punt returner.

So, in this play (which would be on 3rd down in Canada) , we would have No Yards against Team A55, and Blocking Below the Waist on B55. The penalties are balanced out from the B-31 yard line. End result, Team B 1st and 10 at the B36 yard line.
