There is no octave sign over the R.H. minim in A (→FE→EE1). The patent mistake (particularly after comparing it with b. 130) was corrected in FC (→GE), probably by Fontana's hand, as well as in EE2 (→EE3).

..

In A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE1) there is no accidental before the last crotchet in the R.H. It must be a mistake, cf., e.g. analogous b. 497. Oversight of an accidental necessary for writing a note belonging to a currently valid key is one of Chopin's most frequent mistakes. A natural was added only just in GE2 (→GE3) and EE2 (→EE3); it was also added in FESf.

..

In A (→FE,FC→GE1) there is no  lowering g2 to g2 and no  lowering e2 to e2.  A flat was added already in EE1, whereas it is only just EE2 (→EE3) and GE2 (→GE3) that include the correct text.
