The starter motor plug is spliced in so likely not standard.

Yep that looks the same loom.
From your starter does it go to a large solenoid ?

Nope. Wires trace back to the 8 pin plug.

So on the loom you removed did 2 large brown go from alternator plug to starter motor?
2 others from multi plug to starter motor? If so loom is fine.

I haven’t unravelled the tape yet (as I’m sick of being covered in oil) however, in essence yes. 4 big fat brown wires connect to starter, assume two of which loop to the alternator. In addition there are the engine temp, oil pressure and starter exciter wires. Plus a wire I cannot yet identify that was in the alternator portion of the harness.

Is that the exciter wire for the alternator ?
You should have
Oil pressure
Water temperature
Diesel live/coil live
Exciter wire
2x alternator
2x starter live
Solenoid
(Any other cables?)
