To get things back on topic, I got an original Remington New Model Army to play with. It's pictured with a Uberti Cylinder in it. I tried 4 different Uberti cylinders in the gun, most modern, with 1 from the 80's. They all functioned great, just like the original cylinder. Even tried an unmentionable cylinder, which also just worked. Don't plan on shooting the gun with any of these other cylinders, but I don't see any big reason why it wouldn't work. Dimensions between the original and Uberti are very close.
Only way to prove things more definitively would be to find some additional original cylinders to test in the gun. And no, holding only .01" tolerances would have been just as sloppy back then as it is now. Most of the parts on the gun need to hold things closer than that to function.
