Gum 49 and Gum 50

Has anyone seen the nebulae Gum 49 and Gum 50? They are about 2 degrees west of the open cluster NGC 6067 (Dunlop 360).
The attached wikisky.org image, with a field of 1.9 deg, shows the faint open cluster Trumpler 23 (Dunlop 358) at top left with Gum 50 to the lower right of it and Gum 49 at lower right. The distance from Tr 23 to Gum 49 is 1d 20m. The star below Gum 50 is mag 6.1.
