c3-g3 in EE, FE & GE2

 c3-e3 in GC (→GE1) 
..

The c3-e3 third in GC (→GE1) is musically correct, however, c3-g3 in EE and FE seems more justifed pianistically and thus may suggest the copyist's error. And the unjustified  before the upper note of the dyed - before e3 - must certainly be  an error. It was rightly corrected in GE2, perhaps when compared with FE.

D-E in EE

G1-C in GC (→GE) & FE
..

In EE the first two quavers - D-E - judging by the identical notation of the other sources are erroneously written. It needs to be said as well that there is an error in the notation of the second quaver of the bar in GC that may mislead a reader as it is E written out with a ledger line.
