The missing fingering digit in GE could be explained by it having been added by Chopin in the last proofreading of FE. However, the fact of having left a few mistakes, particularly the wrong note at the beginning of the bar, rather suggests that the composer did not address that bar in the last phase of work on the text of FE and that GE simply overlooked the digit.
