Missing in A (→GE1→FE→EE) is the natural raising d flat2 to d2. This obvious oversight on the part of Chopin was corrected in GE2.

We add a cautionary flat before d flat3.

 written in by mistake or by a foreign hand in A (→GE1)

 in FE (→EE), GE2 and GET
..

A (→GE1) has a cautionary  before the upper note of the last sixth of the triplet, instructing us to read that note as c3. This is obviously a mistake, corrected in the proofing of FE (→EE), GE2 and GET.

..

The rhythmic group on the 4th quaver of the bar was mistakenly written in A with the use of  notes with twice as long rhythmic values : . In GE that mistake was only partly corrected: , and it was in FE (→EE) that the correct text was inserted: .
