If I remember correctly, the B series machines have 2k of RAM in the system
bank ($0 or $f), depending on the model.  Try BANK 1 before PEEKing or
POKEing; that should give you RAM at positions 2..65535.

It could be the RAM chips in the "variables" bank or the MUX.  Again if
I remember correctly, the BASIC program text is in the first all-RAM bank
at 3..65535, and variables are kept in another bank.

I only have a CBM 720, and I only used it to implement the cbmlink transfer
routines for it, some three years ago.
