please don't top post, when the answer was below ;)..

ok, so you have weekly chains. looks good to me. the files you mentioned do not 
seem to exist any more.

when you did
  duplicity remove-older-than 2M ..
before you probably ended up with a time before
  Tue Feb  7 22:05:24 2017
so duplicity assumed you wanted to keep the chain before that as well.

why don't you go the easy route and do (from the manpage)

"
remove-all-but-n-full <count> [--force] <url>
    Delete all backups sets that are older than the count:th last full backup 
(in other words, keep the last count full backups and associated incremental 
sets). count must be larger than zero. A value of 1 means that only the single 
most recent backup chain will be kept. Note that --force will be needed to 
delete the files instead of just listing them. 
"

you probably want to keep 4 fulls (chains).. ede/duply.net
