I believe it is RPL for the HP-50.
RPN was the initial language style system for HP calculators. Stack limited to 4 levels.
RPL started with HP-28c; stack limited only by memory.
See http://www.hpmuseum.org/rpl.htm

You mean RPN... I was tempted by the new HP39GII with a grey scale screen; colour screens seem to be power hungry but a grey scale screen would improve the appearance of the HP50.

It's interesting, we know HP for RPN (in calculators); but one of the strengths of the HP50 is the algebraic mode.
