a-e1 in A (→FE→EE1) & CGS

e-a-e1 in FC (→GE) & EE2

The version of FC (→GE) is most probably a mistake of Fontana. Although the shorter stem of the 3rd crotchet suggests that the additional e was added, it could not have been done by Chopin, who did not proofread FC. That version was introduced – under the influence of GE1 – also in EE2.
