The missing  must be Chopin's oversight – in two previous bars, d notes are featured on several occasions as elements of chords and belong to the F​​​​​​​ minor key, consolidated in the discussed bar. Oversights of accidentals are very frequent in Chopin's oeuvre in such a context. The version with d3 is also supported by analogy with bar 379. Chopin added a  in FED; however, it was only just in GE3 that it was added in print.

b. 413-415

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

In the main text we omit the cautionary naturals before e2 at the beginning of bars 413 and 415 and before e1 in bar 413. Although the change of key to F major was confirmed by the key signature, on a number of occasions, Chopin wrote unjustified naturals before e notes also later – cf. e.g. bars 424 or 428.
