It is uncertain whether Chopin wanted to contrast the type of accents in the R.H. in these bars. The marks in A are of similar size, yet they differ in their position, which, according to us, indicates their otherness. Therefore, we interpret the accents on the 4th beat in each of the bars as long ones. In FE the difference in the length of the marks seems to be irrelevant and accidental; this is how it was interpreted in GE. In turn, in EE the difference was increased, so the accents on the 2nd beat in the bars are clearly longer.
