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.
