If the orbit is not necessarily circular, then your statement that the 
object is in orbit around the sun at 50,000,000km makes no sense.

Since GR reduces to Kepler's third law, and that law gives t, it follows 
GR tives t. The value of v is obtained by simple geometry (distance over 
time). I don't know what you intend by saying that it doesn't give r - r 
is an input to the calculation.
