Perhaps you meant to write "iqlaab".
If we have a fully fledged ن, then its combination with b, p results in m. However, if the ن is nasal, i.e nuun-i-Ghunnah ں, then we won't have a resultant m. Having said this, I am not sure if an average speaker of Urdu will differentiate between a nasal nuun and a full nuun in such combinations.
By the way, I have always seen کمبل and not کنبل.
کنبا is normally spelt as کنبہ although Urdu LuGhat has both spellings. Strictly speaking, the former is the correct spelling. Platts has this word as کنبا and کمبا.
Out of the list you have سنبھالنا definitely has a nasal.
گنبد originally گنبذ is of Persian origins. Therefore the concept of a nasal does not come into it.
Let's see what other friends have to say about your question. (I hope you will return to this thread to respond to the answers. There does seem to be a tendency on your part, not to do this.)

This question appears once in a while, under different forms.
My understanding of it (based on answers in this forum) is that:
1) Urdu speech observes the typical "homorganic articulation rules" such as "m before b" mentioned by the OP.
however:
2) in Urdu orthography, the usage of the nuun is more relaxed in general, especially in the matter of representing homorganic nasal-occlusive combinations: sometimes a jazm is used (لَمْبا):
sometimes a nuun Gunnah is used ( ُون٘چا )
and it most cases simply nothing at all.
3) Some words, for historical reasons, keep a nuun spelling in words pronounced with the mb sound, and that spelling is the correct one. For example:

sambhaalnaa | سَن٘بھالْنا | (and not سَمْبھالْنا) |
No, you are wrong here. سَن٘بھالْنا is the correct spelling and correct pronunciation is with a nuun-i-Ghunna and not nuun.
Isin't it how I wrote it?
My focus in #3, was that the word is written with n and not with m, despite pronunciation.
