A Mark's Rack M-1 (or the M-18) is really the way to go for your purpose on a Betty. Maybe there is one out there used for you?
Not sure that the struts on the VO Randonneur rack will hit the Betty fork braze-ons properly. The distance VO suggests is 3.75 inches below the fork crown and I measure them at about 5.5 inches on Amy's Betty. Another option would be the Soma front rack. It mounts at the front fork dropouts and behind the fork so should work. Not sure how high it would sit on a 650B frame though. But it is inexpensive.
