In A (→FC,FE) there is no  lowering e to e in the last L.H. figure. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE.

..

In A (→FC,FEEE1) there is no accidental before the 1st note in the last group. It must be Chopin's oversight – this and the next bar constitute a cadence in C major, and an enharmonic notation of degree 1 of that key does not make sense. A respective addition in the form of a flat lowering b to b was introduced in GE and EE2.

In A (→FC,FE) there is no  lowering f to f in the 3rd L.H. figure of each of these bars. Interestingly enough, Chopin was convinced that there was no need for an accidental here, since he crossed it out the first time (in b. 15). All naturals were added in GE and EE

b1 in sources, contextual interpretation

a1 suggested by the editors

..

In all sources, the 3rd demisemiquaver in the 2nd group is a b1 (literal interpretation). It is the initial uncorrected version, left by inadvertence – in A, initially, the 3rd demisemiquaver in the first two figures of each of b. 15-18 was a b1, which Chopin then changed to a1 in 7 out of 8 places. Such an oversight in correcting one of a few analogous places would happen to Chopin on a few occasions. The fact that he forgot the discussed note while performing corrections is also evidenced by it having been left without a , which was before the respective note of the 1st group of the bar in the initial version.
