PC = Precombustion Chamber
The part you see below the glow plug in the PC is the ball pin. Not too sure the purpose of that thing but, as long as they aren't loose and rattling around inside the PC, they're OK.
White, 'raw' diesel smoke almost has to be a fuel-related issue. Are you still getting white smoke after replacing the injectors?
FWIW, twice since owning my cars, I've come across what I suspect was some really crappy diesel fuel. The symptoms were slow idle, bad, bad off-idle performance and, intermittently, HUGE clouds of black smoke. I dosed the tank with Power Servce both times but it literally took 3-4 tanks of fuel for the symptoms to completely subside. Mind you, this was diesel from a pump that caused this baloney, not some of the other concoctions that I've run through Marlene. So, if you haven't already done this, I suggest you go drive the car for 50-100 miles and see what happens. And, make absolutely sure you have good fuel; you might go ahead and run an additive like PowerService too.
