b2 as the 5th note in FE (→GE,EE) is certainly a mistake of the engraver. The accuracy of the version with d3 written in A is confirmed with entries in all pupils' copies.

In the main text we give the fingering of A, as in the editions it was reproduced with mistakes. Chopin corrected two out of them in pupils' copies – he added the omitted '1' digit over the 5th note in bar 31 in FES and he changed the '1' digit to '2' over the 3rd note in bar 32 in FED.

g2 in A, GE, EE, FED & FES

As the 7th note FE has b2 instead of g2, which appears in the remaining sources. It is certainly a mistake, corrected in the remaining sources, as well as in FED and FES.
