This definitely looks like the VM has a snapshot (created on Feb, 2nd) and when you re-attached the virtual disk you selected the base disk as it is not possible to connect a snapshot using the GUI.
Please take a look at the VM's datasatore folder using the Datastore Browser and post a screenshot of the files you see (including, sizes, time stamps, ...) and attach the VM's latest vmware.log file to a reply post.
