Hmm....
Edit: to satisfy Rut.

Hitting someone in the back is not allowed just because someone else committed a foul. And based on the OP it is not clear that B1 even committed a foul. B can leave the field accidentally
(B and R can do this) and if they are avoiding a small pile that does not mean they did so illegally. They do have to come back at the first opportunity. But they were not given an opportunity possibly by being hit out of bounds.
Since you are so concerned about if IP took place, this would be two live ball fouls that would create a double foul. This would mean you replay the down if both fouls are accepted (which you would not ask). But the problem is B1 never came back into the field of play, so you cannot have an IP foul.
