Really odd to jump to 50 in the absence of 2019.40.3 to 2019.40.49
I'm wondering in this case if they're applying the week number to the minor version. So 2019.40.50 would be a minor version applied to the 40th week code done in the 50th week?
It’s uncommon but not especially odd. The 40 is when they created a release branch (or “fork”) from their master branch (or “trunk”) - usually every week but I’m not sure it’s a strict week number count as others seem to assume. The third digit is normally incremented for each change (a fix or feature enablement) they move to that branch from master in order to get it ready for release.
The jump to 50 most likely means they ported some major changes in which they want to deliver to some audience (e.g. Early Access, or a 0.1% initial rollout), but they want to be able to rev the earlier versions for other customers either for additional features or any necessary bug fixes that crop up, without picking up the work that’s being rolled out to EA.
