For Fed, the closest citation I am able to find is 8.3.2 Situation H which has a runner rounding third being obstructed and then the BR interfering with the play at first. The ruling's first sentence is this "The umpire shall deal with obstruction and then interference, since this is the order in which the infractions occurred."

Since the rules do not specify that interference supersedes obstruction, I'd enforce this play as if R2's interference was that of a runner that had already scored.

For OBR, I'd have to check J/R which is at home.
