I had not seen this issue in years, so it took a bit of thinking to reach a solution.
To follow up a bit, mostly due to boredom....
The "Open With" queries a collection of "mimeapps.list" to present
options. The locations and names
of the various files are defined, for one place, here

The duplicates, no doubt, existed in one of those files in your directory.
And I have never been able to find them. I used find with -exec and
grep several times with no luck.
Krusader's Properties had the trick!
