Apparently in FED this is an immediate dead ball on a try and a FG.

That is not correct.

That's what I thought, but according to my white hat, he found it in the rule and case books. I haven't looked yet myself...

Aware that we are discussing PAT here, but same rules should apply regarding the EZ and a scrimmage kick. I think your white hat may be overthinking this one, but I'm curious as to the case book and rule definitions he found. I have almost all in electronic format going back to 2008 and I can't find one to support his logic. But pass along if it's found. Whether it hit umpire or B55, still should be successful PAT.

BLOCKING KICK FROM CROSSBAR
*6.3.1 SITUATION B: During a field-goal attempt, R1, who is in the end zone,
leaps up and blocks the ball away from the crossbar. RULING: Touchback. The
touching by R1 in the end zone causes the ball to become dead, unless the ball
caroms through the goal, thus scoring a field goal. This is not illegal batting, as the touching caused the kick to fail. (4-2-2d(2); 6-3-1b)
