A has no   raising a flat1 to a1. The mistake was already corrected in GE (FE>EE). We remove the unnecessary  before c sharp2.

..

In A (→GE1) there are no naturals raising e flat to e and E flat to E. The accidentals were supplemented in the proofing of FE (→EE), yet the first one was mistakenly placed before the 6th note. GE2 has the correct text.

A tie between the grace note and the third c sharp2-e2 in A and GE2

No tie in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The tie in A sustaining a small c sharp2 note was omitted in GE1 (→FE→EE), probably due to lack of attention. It was restored in GE2. Cf. bar 12.
