Mystery Duplicate Posts In Wordpress

I have an issue with WordPress in Google Search Console, it’s showing hundreds of duplicate title tags and metas. On closer inspection they’re all variations on the following pattern:



https://silodrome.com/datsun-240z-cutaway-drawing-shin-yoshikawa/2147483647/
https://silodrome.com/datsun-240z-cutaway-drawing-shin-yoshikawa/



Basically it’s the same post, but there are two of them and one has the added numbers to the end of the URL. Both load in browsers, but only the URL with no numbers at the end exists in the WordPress “Posts” area in the back end section.



Is there anyway to determine what caused this, and to delete all the additional URLs? They appear to all be posts from years ago and it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore. So it may have been caused by a plugin?



I'm reticent to set up 100s of 301 redirects as it seems a clumsy way of fixing it.



Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
