  b. 51

Minim in FC

Dotted minim in FE & EE1 (→EE2)

Minim with rest in GE & EE3

In this bar, due to the change of harmony on the 3rd beat of the bar, the issue of sustaining the d minim to the end of the bar has a crucial practical meaning. Therefore, the version of FC is probably a mistake, additionally confirmed by the rest, added arbitrarily in GE (and EE3).
