Unlikely to get it even if you were to find it . I bought a matchless G9 no  paperwork at all but still had the plate on it . I could prove it was on the bike but DVLA still wouldn't give me the number . It wasn't even registered as being used on a different vehicle and wasn't anything special .

You could ask DVLA if it is already registered, whether they will tell you is a different matter.

If the bike was supplied to a UK dealer (most B50s were exported), you could, if they still exist, research the old pre DVLA records for the local area of the dealer to try to locate your bike but you would need to find the frame number linked to the registration number in the record and most records dont have frame numbers. It is a very long shot.

You can find the location of the surviving old records from the Kithead Trust;

If you want to register the bike you could apply for an age related plate. If DVLA find the bike is already on their records they will certainly tell you.
