My understanding was that SB50 was a designation that means "SB series, 50 A rating", and that to specify a housing colour, handle, panel mount, contact style, etc., you needed to refer to the SB50 catalogue pages where all those options would be listed individually (under various part numbers, none of them SB50).

For marking these, paint markers and/or vibratory engravers work well (the marking needs to be in a recess, or it may eventually rub off). (Edit: Watch out for the solvents in the paint marker. Don't use acetone on polycarbonate, from which the SB connectors are made.)
