The absence of the  returning a is undoubtedly an oversight of Chopin in [A] (→GC,FE1→FE2→FE3→FE4). In the remaining editions the sign was completed, it was also added in FES.

No markings in GC (→GE1) & FE1 (→FE2→EE,FE3→FE4)

Pedalling in FE5 & GE2mar (→GE2)

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

No pedal in the 1st half of the bar must be considered to be Chopin's oversight – in the entire middle section of Marche, the harmonic pedalling is meticulously marked. A similar conclusion was reached by the revisers of FE5 and GE2mar (→GE2).

Pedalling in bars 11-12 in GC (contextual interpretation) & GE2
..

Due to the abbreviations used in the manuscripts (in bars 12-13) in the notation of bars 66 and 67, it is not clear in how many bars Chopin wanted to mark the pedalling. The possibilities of interpretation of the notation of [A], conveyed most probably by GC, were discussed in the first section of Marche – see bars 11-13. As far as the editions are concerned, only GE2mar and GE2 repeated the version from bars 11-14 here (different ones). FE (→EE) includes pedaling in up to four bars, which is certainly a mistake (cf. bar 68), while GE1 presents one of possible interpretations of GC.

Dotted rhythm in GE

Same as in bar 14, the authenticity of the dotted rhythm in GE is questionable.
