So its kind of confusing to me... DL to DL would be 60 min, however you are on DL to AF so I think that would be 90 min.
Are you on a DL codeshare or is it an actual AF flight number?

MCT is 60 minutes. DL is on the hook to protect the connection. MCT is published by airline and does not necessarily have to represent reality.

Several years ago DL published a MCT for LHR DL-KL of 6 hours while LHR DL-DL was 2 hours. They definitely wanted you to book the DL-codeshare LHR-AMS instead of KL. It certainly does not take 6 hours to connect in LHR even if it feels like it sometimes.
