Hi Albert Don't be alarmed at it being 12V. In fact all diesel cruisers of that era sent to this part of the world were 12V.

Proper glow plugs to use, notice one of the plugs does not match the others.....

Since one is mismatched I'd replace them all. Do a search (Internet) on "glow plugs B diesel". Places like Roodogs in Australia sell them cheap and they are readily available elsewhere too.

-Function of the small dash mounted screen to the left of the steering column ( glow plug indicator?)......

That should glow to show you when your glow plugs are glowing. My 12V B diesel takes about 20 seconds of glowing before it is ready to be cranked. (When the engine is cold.) At the end of that time, the coil of wire inside the dash-mounted indicator is glowing bright orange.I'd get the glow system working before chasing other possibilities. (Because it looks like you've got the fuel bleeding done OK.)
Cheers-Tom
PS. You have bled the air at the injector pump too? And it is also a good idea after that to bleed at each injector while someone is cranking it!
