A missing  over a mordent is a typical inaccu­ra­cy of Chopin: he would put signs clarifying the performance of ornaments only occasionally, which, after all, was compliant with the then prevailing custom. The same applies to the sub­sequent repetitions of this phrase (bars 206 and 657). The sign was added in FESf.

The missing  in FC (→GE1) could be an oversight of the copyist, corrected in GE2 (→GE3), probably on the basis of analogy with b. 74. The missing  over the mordent must be Chopin's inaccuracy: see b. 74.
A similar situation is to be found in b. 657.
