There are no accidentals before the 3rd quaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), so that the notes should be interpreted as d1-f​​​​​​​1. The obvious mistake is indicated by the orchestral part, which features d1 (in violins II) both in the parts of FEorch (→GEorch) and MFrorch. A comparison with the reappearance of that theme, a second higher, also clearly supports d1, since the respective place (bar 421) features e1 and not e1. It is the first of a few serious mistakes of FE concerning the notation of the orchestral inserts of that theme – cf. bar 179, 186, 187.
The natural lowering d1 to d1 was added in GE3.

b. 179

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

..

In FE (→EE), there are no accidentals before the first chord. Therefore, the middle note should be interpreted as d​​​​​​​1. The patent mistake in this context – d1 is present throughout the entire previous bar, while d2(3) is featured in the 2nd half of the discussed bar – was corrected in GE.

b. 186

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

..

In FE (→EE), the only accidental before the 1st chord of the 2nd half of the bar is a  before a, unnecessary in this context. In GE1 (→GE2), the accidental was moved to before f; however, a  lowering c​​​​​​​1 to c1 was not added. The latter was introduced only just in GE3.
