Cylinder spacing is different between the 550 and the 650, so short answer, not gonna swap over

There are a number of carburetor sets listed on eebbaayy & most of them are over $100.
Is there something wrong w your current set?

There's a cheap set from an 81 550C listed right now on eebbaayy. The seller says the slides are frozen, but some penetrating oil may solve that so that you could use them for parts or something. I guess the 81 carbs are about the same as yours (?).
