I'm in an area I know next to nothing about, probably this is some sort of ladder function?
Is there some way that I can use the working example of the rear turret M50 to get the Main spindle one working.

Your right, the M codes are decifered in the ladder,
Modifying the ladder requires a fair amount of resources, both in hardware & software.
If there is a Fanuc retro-fitter in your area, he should be able to make the M50 the same on both sides.
Strange they made them different originally, maybe an oversight.
