Our suggestion

The given in the main text fingering in the 2nd half of bar 50 was added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE. In this edition the 1st finger is repeated also over g at the beginning of bar 51, which seems to be an error (the digit was deleted in GE4 and GE5). In GE Chopin's indication of division between the hands with the use of digits under and above the notes was misunderstood. In EE Fontana modified and completed authentic indications.
