In the main text we give the characteristic fingering of FED. The entry in FES could mean the same fingering, yet it is more probable that writing one digit only, the '3', Chopin had in mind the natural fingering sequence 3-2-1.

In the main text we give the version written into FES and FED. The remaining sources have the version as in bar 3 and analogous bars. That type of adding variety to the melodic line is very characteristic of Chopin. He introduced similar changes, also as later corrections, in Mazurka in C major no. 2, bars 102-103, and also in other works.
