Error in 2015 Edition

I have a question concerning Jazz Exercise No. 2 by Oscar Peterson, Grade VIII. Bar 13, beats 3 and 4 differ between the 2008 RCM edition and the 2015 edition. As it happens, I have two students studying this piece, one in each of the respective editions. Are both versions acceptable?

This is an error in the 2015 edition, I believe the 2008 edition printed m. 13 correctly: The 3rd and 4th triplets in the RH should be D-E-D and C-D-C.
