In AsI the version of the 1st figure in the bar is adjusted to the principal version of the ending of the previous bar. Although Chopin added the later, final version of the last figure in the ending of bar 12 already to AsI, he did not change anything in this case. Therefore, it allows us to link both versions of the ending of bar 12 to the AsI version of the discussed beginning of bar 13. According to us, the incompatible arrangement of the broken chords (particularly in the L.H.) rather excludes the possibility of combining the initial version of bar 12 with the new version of bar 13.
