I expect Paul will get back with the master cylinder repair kit number.  A good site for identifying your brake parts is:

AP Racing - Motorcycle - Classic Range - Spares for classic equipment

Don't see why the 38 - 50 -7/8 seal won't fit. The 7 refers to the thickness of the seal body and the 8 to the overall height. The lip is slightly proud of the body.   I was looking at the ARI.029 seal.   Not having tried one I can't be sure though. Somebody else may know for certain.

I free my clutch by a kicking the engine over with the clutch lever pulled.  It has always worked so far but I expect my bike hasn't been left standing so long.  It isn't difficult to take the clutch apart for cleaning. It can be accessed by removing the gearbox final drive sprocket.  If you haven't got a manual for your bike you can download one from this site.

Hope this helps.
