  b. 54

 under 3rd quaver in A (→FCGE)

 under 2nd quaver in FE (→EE)

Chopin prolonged pedal in this place, which is proven by  having been crossed out at the end of b. 53 (which we can see in A). The composer's intention was distorted in FE (→EE) by placing the mark a quaver earlier. A similar shift of the  mark (for the pedal to encompass the first octave of the chromatic bass sequence) can also be seen in A in b. 50.
