IF you penalize the foul must be assessed to a specific individual. That means I must have both seen AND heard the infraction. Seeing tells me exactly who must be penalized. Hearing only tells me which rule infraction to penalize (10-4-1) as in this case during halftime everyone is bench personnel (4-34-2).
No seeing = guessing. The best officials DO NOT GUESS.
Only guessers assess a T without visually seeing who committed the infraction.

If there is uncertainty, you have a point which is certainly valid. But in the OP, which I think would be the rule rather than the exception, identifying the guilty party does not seem to be a problem.
