Lack of the  returning b2 on the penultimate semiquaver is most probably an inaccuracy of CLI's notation. Chopin may have written the accidental already in the handwritten base text for FE.

Crotchets in CLI & Ap

..

Same as in analogous bar 16, in FEcor Chopin changed the crotchets in the L.H. to quavers separated with rests. The crotchets, being undoubtedly the original version, also appear in CLI (with erroneously written semiquaver flags next to the 2nd crotchet) and Ap.

In CLI there are no naturals returning c2 and e2, nor the sharp raising g1 to g1. The second of these mistakes – lack of the  before e2 – remained unnoticed also in FEcor.

..

In CLI there are no naturals returning a1 and d2 in bar 45 and a2 and d3 in bar 46. These patent errors were corrected by Chopin in FEcor. The accidentals – apart from the first one – were overlooked in EE2.

In CLI the rest was omitted, hence the bar has only 7 quavers.
