e-g in FE1, GE & EE

B-d-g in FE0
..

On the 2nd and 3rd crotchet FE0 has B-d-g chords. Chopin changed them for the e-g thirds both in FEG (→GE) and in the base texts to FE and EE. Lack of respective change in analogous bar 182 is probably a result of an oversight.

d1-e1 in FE

d1-e1-g1 in GE & EE
..

The d1-e1 second in FE is the original version – in FEG (→GE) Chopin added a g1 note to it. Also EE has a completed version with the d1-e1-g1 chord. Therefore, the fact of leaving the original version in FE seems to be Chopin's oversight.
