See here:

Then, say we want to start from 49:

SELECT   COALESCE(T1.U_USER, T2.U_USER) AS U_USER
       , COALESCE(T1.U_ID
                , CASE
                    WHEN T2.U_ID IS NOT NULL
                      THEN 48 + ROWNUM()
                  END
                 ) AS U_ID
    FROM TABLEA T1 FULL JOIN TABLEB T2 ON T1.U_USER = T2.U_USER
ORDER BY U_ID
