No signs in AI & FE

L.H. arpeggio sign in A (→CDP,GE)

Two arpeggio signs in EE

Taking into account the span of the chord in the L.H., lack of arpeggio next to the chord must be considered as an inaccuracy of notation. In turn, the arpeggio in the R.H. could have been added by Chopin in the base text to EE, although the revision of the editor is also possible.
