The rehearsal letters are the same as in Sandra Dackow's edition, except that in the very short slow movement I thought the one rehearsal letter to be completely unnecessary. While I'm generally averse to putting rehearsal letters at middle repeats, I put letter C over the middle repeat in the finale so as to not differ from Dackow's letters. Unlike Dackow's, this is not an educational arrangement: first violinists will have to count through their "whole notes" in the first movement.

Principal violinists, violist, cellist, get a solo in the finale, but no separate part is provided, so that the solos can function as a kind of cue for the other players.

The figured bass realization is different from Malipiero's in several respects, but perhaps most importantly in that I don't believe a Picardy third is appropriate at the end of the first movement. (Unless we were to discover a natural sign below the relevant G in Vivaldi's own hand).

Misc. Comments
According to Gian Francesco Malipiero, the indication "Soli" in the last movement's second repeated section, is a guess, confirmed only by the "Tutti" indication eleven bars later.
Malipiero's edition includes a figured bass realization he did and somewhat sparse figures. Sandra Dackow's edition, being intended for Grade 3 players, simplifies a few passages but is, aside from those, remarkably similar to the original; she also provides Violin 3 parts to compensate for a deficit of violas as well as English directives in addition to some of the standard musical symbols. Dackow also provides a figured bass realization but intends hers to be played on piano; no figures are provided. Malipiero does not give rehearsal letters, but Dackow does; later editors are encouraged not to invent new rehearsal letters for this piece.
