Two digits in GC (→GE) & EE

Three digits in FE

The authenticity of the 3rd fingering numeral in FE does not raise any doubts, however, it is not certain whether it was added in the base text to FE already after GC and base text to EE had been prepared or added in the proofreading of FE. The triple use of the 1st finger in a very similar melodic and piano performance context appears in the Etude in Gminor, No. 6, bars 43-46.
