IDK I only got one AO drum and I like sticks better
Even original drum loading in to the gun is a pain

Try using plated bullets such as Berry's. There is no openning in the base to expose the lead which eliminates much of the problem.

Do the newer Kahr drums fit/run well in the SMGs?

The Kahr L drum I have works well, as does a pre-'94 ban West Hurley L drum. I used to have a Taiwanese made L drum that also worked well and may be lower priced than the Kahr drum. If you don't mind turning $35 of ammo into smoke and noise with a single trigger pull; I do not have one, but the Taiwanese made C drum also gets generally, but not 100%, favorable reviews.

As for cleaning a Thompson compensator, the screw driver scraping and dental pick picking mechanical force tactics were what I used. I did not have much luck with a couple lead remover chemical products that I tried.

MHO, YMMV, etc.

Check your barrel.
If someone let the comp get that fouled, chances are the barrel wasn't cleaned either.

How does the crown look?
Possibly damaged, dented?
It's possible, but not really likely, that the comp is actually squeezing the muzzle enough to cause bullet deformation.
Have you checked to make sure bullets aren't striking comp?
