There is no reason to suppose the clarinet is actually leaking. I have a 1963 R13 with a single metal band in similar position to that on lower part of your clarinet and it plays absolutely fine.
A quick check is to plug the lower end of top joint with cork (or your hand) and close all holes on the top joint as per playing, don't forget to cover the G# hole in tenon as well, then apply the suction test.
If clarinet pads are seating OK you should be able to maintain a strong vacuum for several seconds at least.
