The intent of these rule changes was to prevent B from getting in a cheap shot and only having to pay a penalty of a yard and a half.
8-2-2 and 8-2-3 refer to the opponent of the scoring team and 8-2-4 talks about fouls occurring AFTER the score and 10-4-5 says the basic spot is the succeeding spot for USC fouls, which is what A did before he scored. The succeeding spot is the try.
You say you think they meant to give the same choice but it's clear that the rules say what should happen.
