In b. 149 and 151 the autographs are devoid of cautionary accidentals. In the first stage of proofreading of FE (→EE) a  was added before b in b. 151; the accidental is also present in GE. In the second stage of proofreading of FE a  before b was also added in b. 149; moreover, a  was repeated before the R.H. b note on the 3rd beat of the bar.
We include both naturals in the main text.

No marking in AI, AF & EE

in FE & GE

The  indication was added in FE in the last stage of proofreading. Without [AG] it is difficult to say whether the same was true of GE or whether Chopin wrote it already in the aforementioned autograph.

Long accent in FE
