However the Delta Plus was created as a successor(And it is a clear improvement over it) to the Delta Gundam and was only pushed through limited production. That and outside the Unicorn and Banshee it was clearly beyond that of a mass produced variant and fit in with the whole Gundam theme.

So? By your own logic of the Delta Plus being a Gundam because it was developed from the Delta Gundam, the GM should also be considered a Gundam because it was developed from the RX-78-2 Gundam. But it's not.
As such, the Delta Plus, superior or otherwise, is still not officially recognized as a Gundam, however similar in appearance it is to one. If you have any official documentation, such as an official boxart or an interview excerpt or something that states otherwise, feel free to post it and I'll acknowledge it. But as far as I know, the Delta Plus still isn't considered an official Gundam like the Delta or Unicorn Gundams are.

It also makes sense that she would have data on the Delta Plus(Most likely provided by the family that screwed with her head) considering it was one of the higher end MS at the moment. That and she's already faced it a few times(Albeit she did ignore it more in favor of fighting the Unicorn), of course she wasn't Gundam crazy until after the mind screw...

Actually, I'm pretty sure that Marida called it a Gundam and freaked out because it looked similar to a Gundam, that's all. Regardless, it's a moot point--official media still doesn't recognize it as a Gundam, and no, her ability in whatever SRW game doesn't really count towards official recognition.
