In FC3 (→FE→IE) and EE# there is an a
-a octave in the second half of the bar. In A, instead of bars 36-50 the repetition of bars 20-34 is marked and bars 35 and 51 concluding the phrase are notated one after another as 1a and 2a volta. In b. 35 there is an a-a octave, in b. 51 only single a, which may well be related to a distinct shape of the beginning of next phrases - forte octave in b. 36 and piano figuration in b. 52. While writing FC3, the copyist must have mistakenly rewritten twice (bars 35 and 51) the version Chopin intended for b. 35. GE is in compliance with A.
