In OBR the ball would be dead at point of obs (type 1), runner awarded 3b and BR back to 1b, if he had not arrived at 2b when ball went dead, which he had not.

Not quite right. You send the BR back to 1B if, in your judgement, he wouldn't have reached 2B absent the obstruction.

If, in your judgement, R1 would have reached 2nd had the obs not occurred, you can award him 2nd.
