The slur of A, literal reading

Contextual interpretation of the slur in A (→GEFEEE)

Alternative interpretation of the slur in  A

In A, the slur begins right after the 2nd quaver, so it is possible that it was meant to begin from the crotchet b flat1. Still, the most probable option is that it was intended to embrace the entire final phrase, and this is how it was interpreted in GE (→FEEE).
