During Asuka's flashback to her training days, we see her walking down a hallway directly toward the "camera" past other NERV(?) staffers. In this one shot, she's wearing a suit unlike any of the plugsuits, presumably for some kind of simulator. Is there an agreed-upon name for this suit, and is there any other art or merch depicting it?

AFAIK the only thing we ever saw was this from Yamashita:
The katakana say "plug suit", maybe someone can read the kanji.

Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"
-Asuka: THINK IN GERMAN!!! -Shinji: Öh... Baumkuchen...
Hayashida: "As game developers, our work is special. All of us here can put smiles on very many people's faces with our work."

If there's any better name for it, it's likely to be in the second volume of Thrice Groundworks once it releases.

It’s refered as a “training plugsuit”, more precisely: “Asuka training era plugsuit” (アスカ訓練時代プラグスーツ)
“Like a miracle, life starts with the pain / Forever this will be” — “Heroes of Sand” by Angra.
“É porque nós gostamos de você. Obrigada por conversar comigo. Vem, me dá a sua mão para andarmos juntos.” — Rei to Shinji (Portuguese dub).
