As my state supervisor said, "don't make this any harder than it actually is".
The exception applies only to scrimmage kicks. Downs 1-3, only the snapper can have an otherwise eligble number. Down 4 and try- any/all K players can have eligible numbers. The phrase "normally numbered" applies to normal non-scrimmage kick offensive formations being applied to the scrimmage kick.
The end is still the end, a back is still a back. They are still required to be eligible by number and position.
