Well from what I understand, having done a bit of reading on the net, the C60 bolts right up to the C52 bell housing; I assume the same for the C50. Once it's bolted up your need to modify the selector shaft housing and use the C52/50 selector shaft in the C60 housing. That's not exactly an easy job but it's not rocket science either.

In my opinion, using the C50 ring and pinion to give a 3.722 final drive as opposed to the 4.529 would give you the best of both worlds: 3.722 final drive with .725 ratio in top gear and you'd still have the benefit of less RPM drop on upshifts.
