Long accent in A

b. 62

  in A & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

No signs in FE (→GE1,EE)

Lack of the hairpins in FE (→GE1,EE) is certainly a result of the engraver's error.

b. 62

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

 in A

No sign in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

We consider the lack of  hairpins in FE (→GE,EE) as a result of the engraver's negligence, which is indicated by the omission of a few other marks in this bar (ties, slurs, , wedge). Intentional renouncement of the indications in this place seems to be highly unlikely from the musical point of view.

b. 62

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Wedge in A

No mark in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

Lack of the wedge in the editions is most probably a result of a mistake committed by the engraver of FE.
