First off, welcome to the forum. I am not sure about the mag tube, but as for the lever.......I recomend that you check "Mule Loops". If you go to the home page scroll down to "Industry Partners" and he has a forum there. Not only are his cheaper (price) but you have lots of customizing options to include designing your own. Have yet to see anyone with a complaint about his levers.

Looking over Marlin's parts list for the 1895's, you'll see that the 45-70 and the 450 use the same mag tube on rifles of the same barrel length. Unless you have some machinists skills, this is one for a gunsmith. The job requires cutting a slot on the bottom of the barrel further up to locate the mount for the mag tube. It is a dovetail cut. I have read of some guys who have done this.
If you look at my profile, "ROUND SLAMMER" and search for "putting parts" you find a piece that I wrote about taking the gun apart, changing the ejector, mag tube follower and putting in a "Happy Trigger." I included putting it back together, too. :
