Pedalling in A

 FE (→EE) & GE2no2

Pedalling in GE1op & GE1no2

No pedalling in GE2op (→GE3op)

No pedalling indications in this bar is most probably a result of revision of GE2op (→GE3op), aiming at unifying bar 4 and 20. As far as the placement of the  sign is concerned, it is only the version of A that is authentic, the remaining are most probably a result of a routine interpretation of indications by engravers or simply an inaccuracy in reproducing the base text.
