You should consult more than one edition.
In order to avoid copyrite problems some publishers
will intentionally put in an "error" or two to
avoid "copying" another companies "edition"
of a Public Domain work. This can be a problem
when transcribing it. For Bach you should go to
a Univeristy Libarary and consult the Bach Gesellschaft
colleted edition and see what it is there.
On the other had Bach may have made a transposition error.
It happens.

As a soprano player who also plays piccolo trumpet
I do hope you are transcribing this to a lower key than
F concert. Baroque pitch was lower with A=415 being used
today. There is a huge difference in playability when
you drop this trumpet part by only one tone and play it closer
to the original pitch. IF it was even intended for clarino.
Curious if it was as it is about the only work of that
era for a trumpet in F. Almost everything is either in D or C.
