Figuration from c4 in A

Figuration from b3 in FE (→GE,EE)

The version introduced at the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE), certainly by Chopin, is definitely an improvement – the connection with the previous bar is smoother, while the shape of the applied motif refers to b. 126-129. The notation of A does not include any of the two necessary flats to a3.
