1991 240 DH engine knocks when starting/driving cold 200

How cold is cold? Does it do it while idling to warm up engine? Could it be for whatever reason the oil is too viscous for temperature and is not flowing?
Maybe the Oil Pickup is partially blocked or not connected. I saw this in a newer Land Rover Disco, but owner complained of no oil pressure.

Suggest with rag in hand right after start, remove oil filler cap to see if Oil is getting up top or put an Oil Pressure gauge in place of Oil Pressure Sender.

Regardless, the most damage is done to any engine, when cold, initial run after starting and oil is not flowing.

You might spill some diesel into oil, then start.

Try 10W30 Winter and 20W50 or 10W40 Summer.

Good luck
