What is the font used in both the text "EVA" and these stenciled numbers from Evangelion?

I see this from many official merches of Evangelion ranging from PC brands, to apparels, to glasses
Here's an example
Asus **EVA 01** motherboard: (https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/9DDA3BB7-F3A9-486C-9911-0C7268B0F610/v1/img/pic_dissipation.png)

Here's another from Asuka (**EVA 02**):(https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/D35E4510-6019-4090-9676-6830AB80C4DB/v1/img/eva-2.png)

Here's the source for the glasses: https://us.jins.com/collections/evangelion?usf_sort=bestselling

I'm not sure if this narrows it down but I did found out that both the "eva" text and the numbers may have likely come from Evangelion's official racing team in Japan. I also saw this same font in official Evangelion theme park in Japan at Kyoto Toei Studio Park, both appearing as a badge in EVA Unit 01's shoulder, and at the base.

Sorry, but I can’t find any indication that the logo or numbers are commercial typefaces—both appear to have been created custom for the brand.

Personalization could be modified to recreate the logotype.

I didn’t find any typefaces that were close for the stencil numbers.

Could someone backward-engineer a typeface from the available visual samples?

Sure, but it would be simpler (given the limited number of characters) to simply recreate them as vector artwork in Adobe Illustrator and save them out as EPS or SVG artwork.

[NOT AN ENDORSEMENT] You can buy Evangelion decal sets that include the full range of numbers from 0 to 9.
