Both of the numbers you posted are listed as 51 & 52 model year motors. http://www.marineengine.com/parts/model … tml#e7_5hp
I have a 1950 and a 1953 along with some parts for the 53. (I need a connecting rod for my 53, part number 277195) The photo looks like my 53 models, but the model number would tell you the year. I thought that the 50 was the last year for the ignition system on them and they switched to the regular magneto afterwards. I could be wrong. I know that the 50 has the "melting" coils that melt and run all over everything. I was able to switch to the regular OMC coil on the old laminations. The 50 also has the fuel vent in the tank and not in the cap like the later models.
