I think I've figured out an strange Easter egg about the MK 7 in Iron Man 3... there was more than one of them = the 1st one from the Avengers movie is on display, fully repaired along with the rest of its earlier suits from MK 1 to 6 after the previous film's events and the 2nd one we see Tony use for only 20 seconds or so at the restaurant is either a later model somehow similar to it from the Iron man legion or is a direct copy of MK 7 with a lesser paintjob.

You can see that from the avengers movie throughout its use and the one in IM 3 in the suit display that there is more strong colouring in brightness and its paintjob in richness of quality, while the other is darker and weaker in colouring instead.

My theory is that Tony made several copies of MK 7 after the avengers in repairing it and continued from there using the copy with possible improvements from the original 7 and then went on to make the Iron Man legion = that might've had copies of the same suit each as well = because MK 5 did... for all we know, he may have had several more of the same suit flying around at that time of the final battle.

The original 7 suits got destroyed at the mansion attack, while the possible copy that he used at the restaurant was stored aware beneath the house till it was in the film's final confrontation at the end and we didn't see it in action, nor did Tony plan on using it due to being one of his weaker suits for the task or didn't bother at all with it in mind.

That's my theory anyway.
