Before the R.H. penultimate quaver Chopin wrote in A a cautionary  which he crossed out after having checked it was not essential. This proves the intended pitch to be c-c1 here. Therefore, the EE version is arbitrary – the reviser repeated here his amendment from the previous bar where he added (rightly there) naturals rising c-c1 to c-c1. We add cautionary flats in the main text here as GE2 already has done.

..

In A (→FE) a cautionary  is only before c1. In the main text we add a corresponding accidental also in the L.H. That addition was already introduced by FC (→GE) and EE. See also b. 13.

In A and the remaining sources there is a cautionary  before c1. In FC (→GE) and EE a  before c in the L.H. part was also added. In the main text we omit those unjustified accidentals.
