I don’t think so.
The Stanley 50-S came with a complement of small bead cutters in addition to the ordinary plough blades, but not anything that would cut a hollow Scotia shape – certainly not at an angle if you are wanting to make a quadrant incorporating a Scotia.
The nearest you’ll get is the Stanley 55 which could, if I recall, be contrived to cut these shapes at an angle, but it was a monumental hassle stetting them up and full sets of these are hard to find nowadays – been out of production since the last war.
If you can obtain wooden-body round planes, (one half of a pair of hollow-and-round set) the stated radius of these is a 60 degree segment – it is possible to free-hand plane this shape into a Scotia.
You will need a groove with a plough blade or a rebate plane, however to form the initial shape.
Hope that this helps.
