Had the gauge itself ( without non-return valve ) tested and it
actually was slightly overreading ! The question is will these engine
start and run well with such a low compression. Oil consumption is close
to zero.

The diesel clatter does not come from the injector opening, it comes from
the combustion cycle. If a nozzle is worn to the point where it no longer
sprays a cone or it leaks then the engine will be louder because some of the
fuel will be unburned & will detonate with the next compression stroke.

Call them up and ask if it works with MBZ. Only around $500
