The cautionary flat before d2 was added in GE (→FE→EE). In a similar context, Chopin would frequently write signs specifying the pitch of a note, compliant with the key, after previously raising it an octave lower. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the addition comes from the composer.

The flat before the d minim in the L.H. was added by us.

Slur from 1st quaver in A & GE2

Slur from 2nd quaver in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The later started slur in the majority of the editions is a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE).

Subsequent shortenings of the  sign in GE and FE (→EE) are certainly accidental. In the main text we reproduce the notation of A.
