The cautionary  before a1 is present in FE (→EE) and GE3. The absence of the mark in GE1 (→GE2) may indicate that it was added in the last proofreading of FE.
In EE, a  was added before f1, which seems to be poorly justified in this context.

Dotted rhythm in FE (→EE)

Quavers in GE
..

The version of GE is probably an authentic original version, corrected by Chopin in FE (→EE) during last retouches. It is indicated by the layout of notes in FE, corresponding to the rhythm of GE and not FE, which may mean that the extending dot of c2 and the semiquaver beam next to d2 were added only just in print. Such rhythmic variations are frequent in Chopin's works, cf. e.g. the Polonaise in C minor, op. 26, no. 1, bar 61 or the Prelude in C minor, op. 45, bars 67 and 71.

..

The G note was added in the proofreading of FE, which is indicated by the diagonal quaver beam and reversed note head of this note. The change was certainly performed on Chopin's request. There is a similar situation in analogous bar 585.
