I need to replace a couple of Dunlop SP Sport 8000 tyres (one on back, one on front) but that model doesn't seem to be available any more.

(unless anyone knows different)

The available ones are Dunlop SP Sport 2050 which look like they have a different tread pattern.

Is it okay to mix them on the car?

many thanks.

Mixing tread patterns is perfectly legal not best practice but still perfectly legal

SP Sport 2050 is a rubbish tyre, not something I'd be putting on any car I owned. Had them OE fit to a car, changed them within a month.
