The clear wedge in A was recreated as a dot in GE. The dot is also in EE. FE is lacking the sign.

The vertical accents in EE are certainly an arbitrary editor's revision.

We interpret the accent in A as long one – it is much longer than the short accents in the adjacent bars. In the source the accent is short.

In FE (bars 74-75) and EE (bar 74) there are no staccato dots under the bass notes. It is certainly an inaccuracy of the notation.
