 Parts in the schematics

What are the FB* parts in the Commodore schematics? For example, just inboard of CN6 and CN3 here:

Also, what are the EM* parts at the top of that page that look like two inductors and a capacitor?

Most probably:
FB: Ferrite bead
EM: some coil???

FB= Ferrite Bead
used for absorb high frequency impulse and limit interferences
example: https://www.tme.eu/Document/cea7da0fbfc392f5359c46fd150d5241/MURATA-BL01_02_03.pdf

EM= EMI filter, it was a "T" shaped filter that has horizontal branches composed by two FB and a central vertical branch composed by a capacitor
example: https://www.electrokit.com/uploads/productfile/41013/41013667.pdf
it's a 3°order LC low pass filter, but in recent motherboards (C64C also...) was used a cheaper components that hasn't the beads and it's only a wire that cross in a side of a capacitor...

real EM: https://www.electrokit.com/uploads/productimage/41013/41013667.jpg

real...fake Commodore used one (C64C):
