In A (→FE1→EE3) there is no  returning b1 on the penultimate semiquaver. It is undoubtedly an oversight, corrected in FE2, GE and EE4.

 b1 on 2nd beat in A, FE2, GE i EE

 b1 on 3rd beat in FE1
..

In FE1, the  raising b1 to b1 is only in the 3rd group of semiquavers. The error was corrected in FE2 by adding a relevant  also in the 2nd group. The mistake was also corrected by revisers of GE and EE, who moved the sign from the 3rd beat to the 2nd. In the main text we give both signs due to graphic reasons (division of the bar between two lines of the text).

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

In A (→FE1) there are no naturals returning c2 on the 10th and 15th semiquavers. The composer's oversight is completely clear, yet in FE2 a  was added only on the 4th beat. The revisers of GE and EE correctly completed the text.
