Wanna link to some of those pictures, etc.? I'm not doubting you, I'd just like to verify the info in this thread as much as possible to avoid creating more confusion than we can solve (if such a thing is possible with vintage AKG).
Also links to where people confirm the Pro 50s as Sextetts would be cool. I did a search on Google:
http://www.google.fi/search?q=pro50+rebranded+sextett. A bit contrary to what you say, every hit instead claims the Pro 50 as a rebadged K 250 (which is incorrect, at least to some degree). On a quick Head-Fi search, I only found posts claiming the Pro 50 as a rebadged K 250 – with Sextett diaphragms.
The only notable similarity visually that I can quickly spot driver-wise is that both the Sextett and Pro 50 drivers have no plastic screen in front of them. But that's possibly because the passive diaphragms need a protective screen as well, and on the Sextett/Pro 50 there's an entire baffle screen instead, so no need for an individually-screened driver.
