This article seems to say that edition numbers were not formalized till 1949, so it seems unlikely that Dickens even used them.

Small excerpt, not saying it is correct, but I do not think edition numbers were sacrosanct or even widely (ever?) used in Dickens time.

Please feel free to correct me with proof that Dickens or his original publishers did as you say.

Well, but something else was probably different so you could see that the text might not be the same as the text or in another physical copy.
