before 3rd beat in A

after 3rd beat in FC (→GE)

on 3rd beat in FE (→EE)

The fact that the  mark was placed in FC (→GE) further probably results from an imprecise notation of A, in which the 3rd L.H. crotchet is under the 6th R.H. quaver, since its initial version was crossed out (it was probably a G-d fifth). Consequently, due to the  mark being so close to the next  mark, it seems that the pedal encompasses the entire bar.
