This may not help.
OVA is type of virtual appliance format.
Packer tool I assume is a way to compress.
ks.cfg is Kick start so we know that tends to be RH based build instructions.
The kickstart may be one place the system gets information about network. The boot process ought to assign the name based on PREDICTIVE naming.
Thank you, jefro. The OP is doing things I (apparently) can't help him with. I've shared all I know about configuring networking on a CentOS 7 server, but mine are not VMs, and I use the CLI. It seems the OP has more moving parts than I'm used to. Perhaps someone else will jump in.
The OP is concerned that the names and configurations of the files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ don't match with what ifconfig tells him is running. I'm not sure why he's concerned about that, as long as his networking is working...
I assume that the cloned virtual machine contains a non-generic naming in some config. RH based distro's don't do well even with generic naming like eth0 as I found out the hard way one time on a clone to exact same hardware.
