When a batted ball hits an umpire or runner (before passing a fielder, not counting the pitcher), then the ball is dead, that runner is OUT, BR gets 1B, and all other runners (if there are any) return to their TOP bases. BR is credited with a base hit, provided it was not an infield fly.
In your play, only R2 is out. In order for BR to be called OUT also, the umpire must judge that R2 interfered with obvious intent to break up a double play (which of course isn't the situation here). 7.09(g) and 7.09(l)
I guess there isn't any difference in the outcome of these two plays.
