The version of FE (→GE,EE) is most probably erroneous – in the entire section encompassing bars 156-157, the 3rd quaver in analogous figures in the L.H. is always an a. An additional argument supporting a is the presence of c1 on the 2nd semiquaver in the R.H., being the resolution of the last d1 from the previous bar.

GE does not have b in the chord on the 3rd quaver in the bar. It is probably a mistake of the engraver.
