This could be total ignorance but since most Nikkors of the period were very color consistent I would use a profile for a 50/1.4 AI or AIS.

If I'm all wet here I trust someone will correct me. I don't own a Noct.

Unfortunately I don't think Adobe CC offers any profiles for Ais and older Nikkors.  I found there was no profile even for the newer Ai-P 45/2.8 or the AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300/4-5.6D.

The chromatic aberration correction is offered separately and apparently can be used regardless of the profile.

What about using a profile for an AF or AF-D version of the 50/1.4 Nikkor?

I've used Noct in the past and noticed that it showed so huge a barrel distortion in the near range that it couldn't be corrected with other profiles.

For Adobe users, there exists the Adobe Lens Profile Loader where one can generate his own lens profiles.
