Hello,
COuld someone tell me which model of the HW rifle is the same as the discontinued Beeman R6?

Not necessarily. The Beeman model may be more powerful for the U.S. market.

.44790.44789

So which Model of Weihrauch that has about 10.5 ft-lbs of energy? HW50?

Originally the R-6 was the HW99. Weihrauch changed a few things around and now the new HW50S seems to be the same as the R-6. The 99 is discontinued.
The original HW50S had a threaded end plug, like the HW80 and HW35. The new version has the sleeve plug like the R-9(HW95). The new HW50S has more power than the older version because the power stroke is now longer with the new end plug.
You can buy the new HW50S from Canada. Try Specialty Shooting Sports in BC Canada.
I hope I didn't confuse you to much :^)
