Well theres a few options I would look at:
1 - EGR fault. I haven't studied the system that closely although I have the same engine as yours. I'll investigate a little more. We refer to EGR systems as soot collectors at work. Would you want to breath a load of secondhand dirty air? No! neither does an engine!
2 - Cold start fuelling device on the injection pump, although mine has the simple coolant operated thermostat and cable arrangement. I think 2 different types of injection pump are fitted
3 - Have you checked the air filter recently? I know this wouldn't make it run particularly differently between cold and hot but could be a contributing factor especially if the EGR valve is having a tantrum.
4 - I think the black box teeing off is just a resonator.
