AI is lacking in the sharps restoring f2 in b. 2 and f1 in b. 4. They must be oversights, very typical of Chopin. There is a similar situation in b. 94 and 96.

..

AI and AF (→FE→EE) are lacking in the sharps restoring f2 at the end of b. 94 and f1 at the end of b. 96, as a result of which it is only GE that contain the correct text – cf. b. 2 and 4, which Chopin wrote without mistakes in both Stichvorlage autographs.

b. 158

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

..

Both autographs are lacking in the  restoring e on the 3rd beat of the bar, which is a patent oversight. The accidental was added in FE (→EE), which could have been performed by the reviser. It is also present in GE, and the layout of the accidentals before this dyad in GE1 also points to the fact that the sign was added in print (cf. the correct layout in GE2).
