In Af and A there is no  restoring f1 in the 2nd half of the bar. The error has already been corrected in GE1, so that all editions have the correct text. The natural is also present in AsI.

In A both the  raising b2 to b2 and the flats restoring b1 and b2 are absent. The accidentals were added by GE (→FE,EE,FESB). Similar inaccuracies and mistakes are also in analogous bars 233 and 237.

..

Neither AsI nor A contains the flats restoring B-b on the penultimate semiquaver in the bar. Due to the analogy with bar 240, it must be Chopin's oversight. The accidental (one was enough, since the octaves were written down in an abridged manner) was added by GE (→FE,EE,FESB). See also bar 244.
