It could also be a fingering problem. Pinky coordination is a thing, and it's amplified a bit by different clarinets having those keys, especially the left hand ones, placed differently. The OP mentioned that he plays other clarinets, so it might have something to do with unfamiliarity with the keys on the problem instrument. Check it with a mirror, or by slow mindful trial.
Incidentally, I've gotten to never leaving the "B" hole closed while playing the "C#", because as Paul says, otherwise the C# is flat. I don't know if the OP (or anyone else) does that. Pinky exercises on each side and both sides is part of daily warmup for me, and my two R13's, Bb and A, do have noticeably different key placements on the lh side.
