DX or FX lenses on a DX body will have the same field of view.
So a DX 80mm lens and an FX 80mm lens will both have a crop factor on a DX body.
So your statement is true that the 50 will have a fov like 75mm...but that is a function of the body not the lens. If they made a DX 50 it would also have a fov like 75mm
