..

The slur embracing the bass motif, visible in GC (→GE), was probably overlooked by the engraver of FE1 (→FE2→EE1). It was then added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4), probably as a result of Chopin's intervention. The sign was also added in EE2.

No accidental in GC (→GE), FE1 (→FE2) & EE

 raising d2 to d2 in FE3 (→FE4)
..

The natural raising d2 to d2, added – most probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4) is most likely a correction of a mistake and not a new version of this detail. The bottom notes of the dyads (and in the chords also the middle ones), unless they are an octave doubling of the top voice, always belong to the components of a current chord in the entire section comprising bars 17-36.

..

In FE1 (→FE2) the top note of the last chord in the R.H. is a b1. It is certainly a mistake, corrected, perhaps by Chopin, in the proofreading of FE3 and base text to EE. The remaining sources also include the correct c2.
