Time to put a little more fuel on the fire. Change your squad's outfits to their alternates. Guess what outfit they show up in at the ending cinematic? The default.
Every other in-game cinematic they always show your squad in the uniform that they are given at the char select screen. Or at least in every cinematic that I've seen.
Remember, these are not pre-rendered cinematics, these are rendered using the in-game engine.
Not getting what it proves
It was a bit of an observation more than "proving" anything. But it shows that the devs made a conscious effort to keep your squad in their traditional outfits.
I believe that this furthers the point that it's in his mind because Shepard is meant to see them in their normal outfits. The additional outfits are for the player. The conscious act of NOT having them leave the SR2 in their alternate costumes is meant to be another flag for the player in that somethign isn't right.
Why would this be the ONE time that they don't use the alternate constumes in a in-game cinematic?
Bit of a stretch, but it was just somethign interesting I noticed.
When I look at indoctrination theory I don't look necessarily at lore stuff. I look at technical aspects of the game. Conscious actions of the developers to make something "different" stand out to me. I would have paid no mind to this observation if the game bounced back and forth using alternate costumes and normal ones throughout the game.
