Leia's message in R2 could be explained as her being cagey in case it's intercepted. She is pretty excited later on the Death Star when she hears that Obi-Wan is with Luke and Han.

Cagey? So she gives up that the droid knows where kenobi is on the recording, that bale needs his help and that he needs to get the plans to the alderaan so bale can get them to rebel leadership.... what was she protecting?

Saying he rescued her when she was younger wouldnt have given away any more than what she already did and vader already knows he rescued her. He knows kenobi probably isnt dead yet.

Here is what she took the time to say,

General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to convey my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

And heres the small tweak that acknowledges their past,

General Kenobi. Years ago you aided my father by rescuing me from the Empire. Now we need you to help us in our continued struggle. I regret that I am unable to convey this request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed.

Small change, but acknowledges the most recent time kenobi helped bale and his family
