Law 14B4 - missing card, Hand Found Deficient during play
Part of Law 14B4 states that the missing card "may become a penalty card".
I can see how it might happen if 14B1 (card found in quitted tricks) applies, but can it under 14B2 (card found elsewhere)?
I ask the question because the suggested answer to a question on the Club Directors course suggests it can.

Defenders' card on floor face up where it could have been seen by the other defender. Law 49.
Obviously Declarer's or Dummy's card can't be a penalty card law 48A but defenders should be advised that the knowledge of the card is authorized information to them. That is if they have seen it!
