Actually, recoil with the Snider cartridge would be less, if anything ...  ;)

The standardized military loadings of both cartridges incorporated a 480gr bullet, but the powder charge of the Snider was only 70 grains whereas that of the Martini-Henry was 85 grains ...

Doesn't the bullet weigh more though?

Of course on the other hand the .50-70 and the .45-70 use the same amount of powder and the 480 gr 50-70 bullet while it weighs more does appear to have less felt recoil than the 405gr .45-70.

NM I guess I just answered my own question.
