OS X (Eastings) 368386

OS Y (Northings) 73648

Lat (WGS84) N50:33:42 (50.561723)

Long (WGS84) W2:26:52 (-2.447692)

I imagine it would be:

Lat N50:33:42

Long W2:26:52

I agree with Black Knight that those are the co-ordinates to use, though you only need put in:

For North: '50:33' and for East '2:26'
