The two forces are equal.

Obviously: 11.25 is equal to 11.25!

You didn't realize that my question is about something else.

Certainly, the force +11.25 on body B is exerted entirely by body A.
 
However, not all of the -11.25 force on body A is exerted by body B.

Yes, it is.

And yet it isn't.

Follow my reasoning to the end (I haven't completed it yet) and you
will find out why it isn't.

You can prove that from the third law...

Maybe you haven't noticed but it's the third law I'm contesting.
