Here is a later side pull Sam with Fat Franks and aluminum fenders! http://www.flickr.com/photos/56694464@N02/5339491448/in/photostream/lightbox/ (Search archives for "Pics of new Samuel Hillborne" for the corresponding thread.)
I have an early 56cm Sam with 3 dot fork and recently tried putting on 52mm VO aluminum fenders, and they fit fine, requiring just a tad of squeezing at the chainstay bridge. Since the 50mm Big Apples actually run 44.5mm (photo on rivbike.com), and given the photo above, I would guess that the 50mm Fat Franks will fit, but haven't tried it myself.
