The fuel pumps are individual, 1 for each cylinder. They appear to be of the well proven type of the era that incorporates a rotatable helix controlled by the handwheel that you see Opa turning. The method is termed "spill point cut off". The pump plunger stroke does not change, but the "barrel" around it turns, altering the "spill point". The supply is usually just gravity from a service tank with enough capacity to run the engine without relying on any pump. On ships it is called the "daily service tank", and usually topped up via a centrifuge.

Opa also bars the engine over as a first step, and maybe the device that he locks off is an interlock so that no air can enter the starting system while the turning gear is engaged. I just cannot figure out what he is doing!

These are the steps performed to start the engine:

0:08 - The young machine operator begins to pre-lubricate the engine.
0:32 - After reaching 2 bar oil pressure, the older machine operator turns the engine manually.
1:44 - The engine is turned by compressed air with cylinder taps opened to blow out water or oil, if present. The engine is still being pre-lubricated.
1:57 - The machine operator closes the cylinder taps.
2:14 - Water pump switched on (control cabinet in the background).
2:16 - Fuel valve opened.
2:18 - Injection pumps on filling: Probably, this means that the injection pumps are set to maximum as a basic setting (big wheel). The final fuel amount is set by the governer (small wheel in the background).
2:21 - Preheating
2:30 - Glowplugs are glowing.
2:34 - Engine start by compressed air.
2:55 - The machine operator checks the combustion by opening the cylinder taps shortly.
3:13 - Finally, he raises the RPM by adjusting the governor.

I was a sucker for DavidsFarm on Youtube circa 2007... before the channel was shut down, as it turned out he was a kiddy fiddler.
You can still find some reposts of his clips around. Lots of Canadian winter cold starts on various vehicles, redneck rally driving, and general repair videos.
Good wholesome fun, what was on camera at least
