"According to Marc Laidlaw, Gordon was to become an agent for a resistance force, possibly in the service of the G-Man, in one of the early incarnations of the sequel's storyline. Along with the other agents, he was to wear a black, leather stealth suit with various devices latched onto it. It would have replaced the Hazardous Environment Suit from the first game but still provide a user interface and a "more sinister" AI voice. Described as a torture suit or practically a straitjacket, the outfit was to resemble "something out of a Clive Barker film."[1][2][3]

The leather suit was cut along with its associated storyline after the developers realized the success of Half-Life, deciding then to keep the most iconic elements of the title such as the Crowbar and the HEV Suit.[3] The textures files for this version of the suit can be found in the Half-Life 2 leak in the folder for the viewmodel of the Flare Gun." - CombineOverWiki.

The leather suit stuff was even before Hyper era I guess, before 1999. Since 1999 Gordon looked the same as in HL1//HL2, except before 2003 his HEV suit was more red than orange.

Presumably like this

Gordon looked like he had a HL1 styled model. He probably still had his ponytail.

so... does this mean the remaining texture files are dated around/before 1999?

It is difficult to say that during the creation of the game there could be a lot of change in the appearance of our main character

Does Odell have some voice lines that go like "What is that suit your wearing?", "it looks like it hurts getting into the thing"

For the playermodel? From 2001-2002 a combine soldier. Edit: This was probably a place holder at the time. (Okay I kind of lied because I found out this playermodel was a basic playermodel used for the MP)

That's multiplayer models used in LeakNet patch, it has nothing to do with actual player model.
