I'm with spotter, if a 43mm tyre doesn't fit in the front at 584, 590 would be even tighter. 26" isn't a reason not to build it up imo.
I thought 650bx47 was equivalent in outer diameter to 700cx30? I should clarify the tyres in the picture were 700c.
But ye looking at a few speedway bikes/frames it does look like 26" was more common.

Ohh! Any interim build plans in any case?
26" stuff is cheap and plentiful and you could easily run chonky tyres
