I did remember that on a research about the OM321V I found out that Mercedes tried several 100 engines with DI instead of IDI.
So I thought maybe the thread starter has an engine with direct injection that survived until now.
Although I think it is most likely a prechamber engine.

Here is some information about it with pictures.

The glow plugs for these engines will probably use an 18mm thread.

I know this because I measured the thread of four glow plugs I got that were wrapped in packaging dated 1939. Apparently, they were for a 260D Benz taxi (??).

There's a German company named Beru that makes glow plugs and spark plugs. They have this cage filament glow plug.

Don't know if they still make them, but I have seen these in the past two years, so they might be able to be procured in Europe, where people don't dispose of things as readily as here.
