I need a protector for the top-panel LCD on a Canon 50D, but I can only find protectors marketed for the Canon 7D or 5D Mark II. Are those top LCD screens the same size as the 50D, or will the protector not fit?

No they are not the same size as the 50D.
I determined this by referencing and measuring the two images here(7d) and here(50d). It looks like the 7d has a bit wider LCD screen by about 15% or so.
I would suggest just buying a standard sheet of LCD protector and cutting it to the desired size. If you have trouble finding that you can just buy a set of ones designed for tablet PCs or similar.

No — the Canon 50D top LCD is not the same size as the 7D’s, so a 7D protector is unlikely to fit correctly. Based on image comparison and measurement, the 7D top LCD appears noticeably wider, roughly around 15% wider than the 50D’s. There isn’t enough information here to confirm the 5D Mark II protector as a match, so you shouldn’t assume it will fit either.
A practical alternative is to buy a generic sheet screen protector and cut it to the exact size of your 50D’s top LCD. Universal protectors made for tablets or other devices can work well for this.
