As in bar 37 A has no accidentals before the first quaver. The sharps necessary to indicate notes c, c1, c2 were not written by Chopin until the last semiquaver in the bar, and only in the R.H. The editions filled in the essential signs and GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and EE2 added an extra  before c at the end of the bar.
