Not really i work on diesels everymonth and i keep 12 vehicles up and runing and do service on 12 a month trust me its not glowplugs they all smoke but makes sure you wait little longer for plugs to warmup on cold days that may cause it to smoke alot. You might want to prime system 2-3 times (turn key on wait till light off and then turn on to prime) for fuel and for chainbers to be warm and then start it up.
Hope this helps. Trust points greatly appreciated.

Why would a 1973 Mercedes 280 smoke a great deal at start up only?
If its a diesel then that's your answer. I have a 1983 240D and that's normal for that engine. Any old diesel does the same thing. My volkswagon diesel with 235,000 miles on it smokes on startup in the following conditions: 1. Below 10 degrees F (-10 C or so).2. Above that temperature if I do not run my glow plugs for the standard 7 seconds. Above freezing, if I run my glow plugs it starts first cylinder and does not smoke. If I start it without glow plugs, however, it belches black smoke for five or ten seconds.

Why is your Mitsubishi L200 diesel engine delays to start?
as it is diesel it needs glow plugs to warm up prior to start up,that is why you get the little squiggle light on ur dash,when that goes out you are ready to start it up...diesel motors don't have spark plugs...compression ignition.so if you keep trying to start straight away you will only end up replacing the glow plugs.
