I came across the video below on the British Pathe News website which includes some great footage of Pompey playing at Fratton Park in the FA Cup in 1949 against Sheffield Wednesday.
It was a match they won 2-1 with goals from Peter Harris and Len Phillips.
Look at Pompey's strip! Look at the packed terraces! Look at the pitch! Look at The South Stand - pretty much as it is today!
The pictures of FA Cup giant killers Yeovil against Sunderland are great too!

Video duration: 2 minutes 54, the Pompey action starts around 1 minute 16.
The book Pompey - A History Of Portsmouth FC (1984) by Neasom, Cooper and Robinson tells me the match was played on January 29th 1949 in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Pompey team was: Butler, Yeuell, Ferrier, Scouler, Flewin, Dickinson, Harris, Barlow, Clarke, Phillips and Froggatt.
The attendance was: 47,188.
