I think that in 2016 is 28 d and in 2015 is 27 d (and six months).

I would say that 6 months and 29 days is the correct answer in both cases. It's 6 months from 2 Feb to 2 Aug, and then 29 days until 31 Aug. Both in a leap year and in a common year.

Things are different if day2 is less than day1. For instance from 20.022015 to 10.082015 it's 5 months and 18 days, while from 20.022016 to 10.082016 it's 5 months and 19 days.
