b. 1

composition: Op. 25 No 8, Etude in D♭ major

mezza voce in A (→GE) & EE

No indication in FE
..

According to us, it is an oversight that is a more likely explanation for the absence of the mezza voce indication in FE rather than a possible Chopin's correction, whose effect would be a total resignation from indicating dynamics at the beginning of the piece.

composition: Op. 25 No 8, Etude in D♭ major

in A (→GE)

in FE & EE
..

The use of the  time signature is surprising only in EE, as in FE the  time signature was not used in the Etudes even once – contrary to the manuscripts – neither in Op. 25 nor in Op. 10, in the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (cf. the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). Anyways, the correctness and authenticity of the  time signature written by Chopin in A (→GE) is beyond any doubt.

composition: Op. 25 No 10, Etude in B minor

in GC, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

in FE & GE1
..

The use of the  time signature is surprising only in GE1, as FE did not use the  indication in the Etudes – contrary to the manuscripts – even once, neither in Op. 25 nor in Op. 10 and in the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (cf. also the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). Anyways, the correctness and authenticity of the  time signature is undeniable with respect to the compatible version of GC and EE.
The correct time signature returned in GE2 (→GE3).
Similarly in bar 104.
