According to us, the 1st finger given in FE next to the d1 note indicates a simultaneous performance of the d1-f1 third with that finger. The same is suggested by the fingering added by Fontana in EE. No fingering in GE may indicate that Chopin added the digit in FE in the last phase of proofreading. There is a similar situation in analogous bar 57.

Apart from the 1 digit over the last quaver in bar 18, the entry in FEH includes one more mark, which is difficult to interpret, since it may be a sharp or a slur. According to us, its placement suggests that it was supposed to combine that quaver with the minim in bar 19, which would practically indicate the same fingering as in the two remaining pupils' copies. See the adjacent note on the slur.
