That D50 you're talking about is most likely from a 99-02 Super Duty and will have a metric bolt pattern, pretty crappy unit bearings and will be wider wms-wms than your current D50. Its still not a step forward IMO unless you also buy the matching rear axle and new rims.

a 1/2 ton d44 ttb is 65", couldn't find a number for a 3/4 ton d44 or d50 ttb, but a stock d60 front from any and all fords would be 69.25 for pre s/d or 69.50'' from a s/d. all the sterling srw axles are the same so i'd have to assume a ttb 50 is the same width as a d60 otherwise the steering ackerman angle chit would be all fubared with a narrower front axle on the f250's. i don't know all the math behind it, but the fronts are supposed to be wider, don't ask me about duallies because i don't effing know. i do know for sure though that my 94's d60 was a solid 2+ inches wider per side than my rear. you can kind of tell in this pic, all 4 rims are 12'' wide same back spacing.

A wider front helps with tracking so yes that is very common. I also know Sterlings (10.25 and 10.5s) are narrower than 60fs but 2" per side doesn't sound close to right on the SDs. I'm quite sure the SD
fronts are wider than the older 60s though. Not talking about the HD60s either. I think those things are 10" wider than the regular SD axles.
