  b. 52

In the ascending part of the run in A (→GE→FE→EE) there is neither  reinstating f3 nor  reinstating a flat3. This is surely a mistake – f flat and a double flat would be binding not only in those places but also in the passage ending the run. Omissions of accidentals in such situations are among Chopin's most frequent mistakes.
