£12,000! Always surreal reading the item description and realising you've unknowingly provided all of the auction house's information...

Am I reading WO112 wrong or should there also be a Belmont clasp?

The tick in the Belmont clasp box often means something else; that a medal was issued for example. There was some discussion on this site in the past about the "Belmont tick". Unfortunately, some do not do their homework and take the "tick" as meaning a Belmont clasp entitlement.
