In GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3,EE1), there is no accidental before the top most note of the 2nd chord in the L.H. This patent in this context inaccuracy was corrected in FE4, GE and EE2.

..

The bottom note of the 2nd quaver in FE1 is an erroneous e1, which was corrected already in FE2. The mistake, and in any case the inaccurately written note, must have been in [A], as in GC one can see an identical correction.

No accidentals in GC & FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

Naturals in GE, FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

The absence of accidentals on the 2nd and 3rd beat of bar 40 and 2nd beat of bar 41 in GC and FE1 (→FE2→EE1) is almost certainly Chopin's mistake. It is confirmed by naturals raising g1 to g1 in bar 40 and g to g in bar 41, added in the most probably authentic proofreading of FE3 (completed with the last missing  in FE4). Similarly in bars 228-229.

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

..

In FE1 and GC the bottom note of the 1st chord in the R.H. is an erroneous a1. The erroneous notation must have been in [A], which is confirmed by an identical mistake in the recapitulation (bar 240). The patent mistake was corrected in the subsequent FE (→EE) and GE, which can be almost certainly ascribed to the revisers.

..

Before the octaves on the 2nd and 3rd crotchet of the bar in FE1 (→FE2→FE3) there are no accidentals. The patent inaccuracy of the composer was corrected to a varied extent in EE1 (the naturals of c and C) and FE4 (the naturals of c and C1-C). The totally correct notation is included in GE and EE2. Same in bar 244.
