It seems that the aim of the EE reviser's intervention could have been the standardisation of marks in both parts of hands – the L.H. chord is provided with a dot, as the preceding ones, which makes this mark more reliable than the single wedge in the R.H. in this fragment. However, in the main text we keep the FE markings, as the use of different marks in the parts of both hands can be easily explained by the textural context – the L.H. chord continues the current course, while the R.H. octave does not.
The absence of the mark in GE is most probably an oversight.
