In A Chopin omitted the accidentals to the R.H. third written on the bottom stave (f-a). They were already added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

f1(2) in A, literal reading

In A there is only a  to the middle note (a1) of the 1st R.H. chord, which makes us consider the outermost notes f1-f2. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) it was considered an oversight of the accidentals belonging to the current key (sharps to f1 and f2), and they were added. According to us, both versions are stylistically possible and could be authentic, hence we provide both, making it clear that the accidentals clarifying the pitch of these notes were added by us (in both cases).
