Mouthpiece discussion

Hi my name is Carl I'm new to the forum and I have been playing clarinet for about 50 years. Recently I have started to try different mouthpieces before that I have been using a Selmer crystal mouthpiece my Dad probably bought for me in the late 60's. Here's a list of clarinets and mouthpieces. The clarinets are a Buffet R13, Leblanc Dynamic 2, Selmer Centered Tone all 3 from 1958 and a Selmer Signet Soloist from the late 60's. My mouthpieces are a Vandoren 5JB, B45, B40 Lyre, vintage Selmer crystal mouthpiece, a Penzel Muller 3 AAA, and the Buffet that came with the R13. Here's I guess my question or problem the B40 Lyre plays with very little effort all the clarinets. They all play just fine on the R13 but it seems that I have to blow a lot more using any mouthpiece except the B40 on the Leblanc and Selmer. Also any info on the P M 3 AAA would be great I don't know nothing about it.
