The succeeding spot might be a try, if the score was a TD, or it might be an overtime spot, if the foul occurred during a try or FG.

So what you are saying is that, since this is an overtime play and there is no subsequent kickoff, the penalty should be enforced from the succeeding spot - the try? But, if the penalty happened during the try, A could have the option to accept and replay, or apply the penalty to the succeeding spot, which would be B's first possession?

That's exactly what I'm saying. There is a provision in OT for accepting a score and marking the penalty off from the succeeding spot. The fact that there is no subsequent kickoff does not preclude that.
