In FE, there are no naturals before the bottom voice d1/2/3 notes. The last one is absolutely necessary; in spite of that, it was not added in any of the subsequent editions, in which the additions were limited to a  before d1 at the beginning of the bar. Moreover, FE (→GE) are lacking in the  before c3 in the 2nd figure; the accidental was added in EE. Significantly, the previous note, d3, is preceded with a , which was apparently understood as a cautionary accidental due to the d notes in the bottom voice and in the L.H.

The sources are lacking in the accidental before the 2nd played note of the run, which must be Chopin's mistake.

Just like in b. 59-60, EE are lacking in both flats lowering d2 to d2 and in the cautionary  before d3. Chopin added all three accidentals only just in the last stage of proofreading of FE (→GE); they are also in EE2.

In the main text we add a cautionary  before b2 in b. 73. The accidental was already added in GE as well as in EE2. In addition, we add the flats (overlooked in FE) lowering c1 to c1 in b. 73 and c to c in b. 74. The former was added both in GE and EE, whereas the latter only in GE and EE2.

Just like in b. 75, the sources are lacking in the  raising b to b, which is a patent inaccuracy.
