I was not aware of your posting, so sorry for not replying. I've had a look for Edward/Eamonn but do not see them on the Feb 1950 voyage.

Hi,Just did a quick lookup,the files are held in Canberra National Archives
You can get a copy of the shipping list sometimes more info,if a passport a photo but seeing as they came out under the assisted passage migration scheme I think they just had ID papers.
Record class no 1021672 Series no A 1877
hope this helps but you may already have this info.Good Luck.
