Yeah, I think DEEN delayed it for season three purposes. The movie might also be a factor, though I wonder how they'll pull it off considering that it will be 80 minutes and not just 5.

All that's known of the last three episodes of season 2 so far: Episode 50 will be the rest of the Japan story seen in 49. I'm still hoping that there's a chance that 51 and 52 could be the Austrian Succession, and it seems like other fans are wondering about the timing of it too (they'd come around the time of the last season 2 volume with Austria and Prussia's MKCs).
