The crossings-out visible in A allow us to read the original version, in which the L.H. had the same chords as the R.H., continuing the relationship marked by the 1st chord of the entire passage. Chopin wrote four subsequent chords (to the second one in bar 482) before he changed the concept or noticed his mistake.

We preserve the cautionary  before a2 in the 2nd chord of the bar, due to a in the previous bar. However, Chopin most probably wrote it to cancel a2, used in the original version of the notation of the 1st chord. In the main text we also add a cautionary  before c.

A (→GE1→FE1) features a d2 as the last quaver. At the same time, one can see that initially the entire last triplet was written a second lower – c1-d1-d2. Chopin corrected the first two quavers and most probably overlooked the third one, being in haste. Such a scenario is confirmed by the proofreading of FE2 (→EE) – almost certainly authentic – in which the note was changed to e2. An identical correction was performed in GE2, too.
