In A (→FE), there is no  before the last semiquaver (e3) in the 1st half of the bar; the  restoring e2 on the 11th small quaver in the 2nd half is missing too. The former was added both by GE and EE; by contrast, none of the editions noticed the absence of the latter.

..

In A, there is no  restoring b2 in b. 138 and in the next two, which are marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of this bar. The mistake, typical of Chopin, was corrected by FE (→GE,EE), probably at Chopin's request. There is a similar situation in b. 142-144.
