..

Three cautionary naturals before the 3rd quaver in the bar are present in A, yet they were removed in a proofing of FE (→GE1,EE3). It seems to be Chopin's mistake, as after d1 and d2 at the end of the previous bar, the warning is quite justified in this place. The accidentals were added in subsequent GE,s and EE4 (in the latter only in the R.H.).

..

In the 1st chord in A (→FE1→GE1,EE3) there is no cautionary  before g2, although a relevant accidental is written in the L.H. The sign was added in FE2, as well as in GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and EE4.

A cautionary  was added before f1 in the 5th chord in FE1 (→FE2,GE,EE). In addition, in FE1 a  raising B to B was added, certainly by mistake. The latter was removed in FE2, GE and EE.
