A, FE and EE are lacking in the natural raising d3 to d3. The sign was added in GE.
In the entire Impromptus Chopin rather treated the accidentals as valid regardless of the octave in which the altered pitch appeared; therefore, it is difficult to clearly consider the absence of that sign as an omission.

Lack of the naturals next to e2 and e1 in A and FE was added in GE (next to e1) and in EE (in both places). Chopin certainly considered the previously placed natural next to e3 as valid in the entire bar.
