When fitting replacement seatbelts I've always found the following catalogue extremely useful for reference, so feeling it might be useful for others here too ;

I've recently picked up a pair of 500/45 to replace our very tired n/s and o/s seatbelts. Got a NOS pair all in for under £30 inc. p&p from ebay - I gave them a good going over before fitting just in case but perfect. They retail at around £50 to £70 each normally.
I chose the 500/45 for the longer stalk which is ideal but possibly at a push the 500/30 might just suffice, although engaging the tongue into the buckle will take more practice as this will be behind the seat itself. To my mind the 500/30 would also get in the way when tipping forward the engine cover, the 500/45's extra stalk length permits it to tuck securely out of the way behind each seat first.
I'll be reviewing options for centre belts from this catalogue soon and will post findings. Likely to be a lapbelt but really would like to rig up a diagonal belt from the roof similar to how some modern estates do - although this may require some additional bracing for strength
