FE (→GE1→GE2) is missing the  before the 4th semiquaver, which we do not consider to be a mistake, since the 1st triplet is written an octave lower with an octave sign, and one can consider the  put before b​​​​​​​3 at the beginning of the bar to be valid. The accidental was added in EE as well as in GE3, in which a notation without octave sign was used.

..

In FE, the passage was probably reproduced strictly after [A] – it is missing naturals before the 4th, 9th, 11th and 12th semiquavers in bar 358, whereas in bar 359 accidentals are present only before the first two semiquavers. In the remaining editions, naturals were added – GE added all of them, while EE the majority of them (without the 4th and 9th notes in bar 358).

d in FE (→EE)

f​​​​​​​ in GE
..

The version of GE is most probably a Terzverschreibung error – cf. similar bar 367. A mistake can be provoked by both f​​​​​​​ notes at the end of the previous triplets and the missing  before that note in FE (the missing accidental was added in EE).

b. 360

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

The notation of accidentals in FE is inaccurate – naturals are missing before the first d1 and before d3 and g2 in the last triplet, whereas the superfluous ​​​​​​​ was placed before b1 in the 2nd half of the bar. In the remaining editions, all necessary accidentals were added, while EE also removed the superfluous ones.

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The fingerings of EE and FEH are certainly compliant. There is a similar situation in analogous bar 368. It does not guarantee their authenticity, although in this context one can be almost certain that it is actually a Chopinesque fingering.
