Earlier, I went out and grabbed a control and a wiring harness, brought them to my desk and tried to line them up on both your harness and your control. I couldn't get anything to match up anywhere on your diagrams.
I knew the smaller motors were different, but I've never messed with them to know much more. I was surprised by your harness with the round motor connection. I've never seen one that wouldn't work.
I can tell you that the older controls and harnesses will work on the fuel injected engines. Functions missing will be idiot lights. Older stuff uses 2 lights, where the newer uses 4, and of course there's the choke switch issue.
I took a minute to see what I would do if in your shoes. Did a lot of digging in my favorite places to look for used, and found nothing. Then I started thinking new, just how expensive would that be? Came up with this part number -
Honda 24800-ZY3-000
It would appear this is one of the early designs where the harness does NOT unplug from the control. The 45's were only built for a year, and that was early on. That's a good thing as there's no worry about color matching. Motor model number compatibility checks out - the 50 is fine.
I would call to confirm that this control does come with the harness and that it is still available - for sure. I am 99.999% sure this will work with your motor.
Where I would go to get it -
