In short, no.
Without a moon clip the cartridge would just fall into the charge holes, and there is not clearance for a clip. The gun could be cut for moon clips, but then you couldn't shoot the .460 because of greatly excessive headspace.

Could one shoot 45AR from a 460? Or would the rims be excessively thick, causing the cartridges to rub against the recoil shield, thereby locking the cylinder?

If you must, you could trim .460 ammunition to .45 ACP length. Use .45 ACP loading information.
While I shoot .22 shorts out of my 17-2 on occasion, either because of training or the range won't allow anything bigger, not worth the time and expense for your revolver.
