In A the  hairpins clearly refer to short melodic connecting passages leading to the Neapolitan chord. In FE the marks were extended and their reference to the part of the R.H. is unsure. According to us, it is a result of the engraver's misunderstanding of the manuscript. In EE and subsequent GE,s, the mark in bar 48 was extended after bar 47.

Long accent in A

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The accent of A is, according to us, a long accent and it concerns the peak fragment of the semiquaver passage performed by the R.H. In the editions it took a form of a common short accent, concerning the crotchet in the L.H.
