Does anyone have a drawing of the BMW tool or the universal tool show in Slabons 'How to restore your BMW' page 215 ref 499/1/2 so I can make one prior to stripping my R50 engine.

You can get a single tool that does the job of several Matra tools for stripping the engine.
See Ed Korn's Cycleworks site:

To remove the crankshaft so you can clean the slingers, you gotta have this one. It holds the flywheel, removes the timing case cover, crankshaft timing gear, front bearing carrier, camshaft timing gear from the camshaft, rear main bearing and the flywheel. It will also press back on the front bearing carrier, both timing gears, rear main bearing and the generator ball bearing.
