In $q$ and $p$ state vectov formalism.
$QS(\lambda) |q\rangle=(q+\lambda)S(\lambda)|q\rangle$, where $S(\lambda)=e^{-i\lambda P/\hbar}$. Thus when only consider $p$ and $q$, one may effectively think $S(\lambda)|q\rangle=|\lambda+q\rangle$.
However, what if there is a third set of eigenvectors say $l$, does $S(\lambda)|p\rangle$ still holds? Meaning if there is a third set of eigenvectors say $l$, can one still regard there is no difference between $S(\lambda)|q\rangle$ and $|\lambda +q\rangle$?
(consider $[S(\lambda),L]$)
