But RPL also affects how manual operations are performed. RPN is mostly postfix but operations such as "STO 00" and "SF 00" go against that.

By contrast, RPL machines are purely postfix: << 'VAR' STO >> or << 0 SF >>

I would therefore posit that there is a difference between them and that the 50g is indeed an RPL machine and not RPN.
