I think these 3 black parts (excluding input capacitor) at FSH3 input signal path are resistors, which are making Pi-pad attenuator.
As you can see, TSMU (ver.1 and ver.2) lacks Pi-Pad attenuator. Only one Zero resistor (see pictures below):
If you put Zero resistor in the right place (as in TSMU-ver.2), I think your FSH3 will work (if next components/ICs are OK), but the measured levels will not be correct.
As I don't have FSH3, I will propose the following experimental approach for calculating the Pi-pad resistors values (and calibrating the instrument):
1. Put zero resistor at the input signal path
2. Plug-in signal generator with known level at RF-input
3. Check the level, measured by FSH3, and calculate the difference in dB
4. As you know the difference (and input impedance=50 ohm), use calculator https://www.pasternack.com/t-calculator-pi-attn.aspx to find the values of the resistors.

There is an interesting detail, the pin 2 of the synthesizer chip is isolated on the TSMU version 2. (Not properly visible in the photo, you can see only a small piece of brown foil under the pin). This is not the case with version 1 and FSH3. On the photos you can not see whether the synthesizer chips of FSH3 and TSMU are really the same.

who knows the components detail information in the red rectangle bellow??[img][img]
