My father has an 05 plate and that always rattles like a bag of spanners on start up!

Would guess dual mass flywheel.some transits have some don't. Run engine at about 2500 rpm hold foot on clutch pedal switch off engine if you
get a vibration though pedal that's it. Or remove starter motor see if its full of swarf and clutch dust etc to confirm.

I was led to believe that the vast majority of diesel engine noise is from the fuel pump, not the combustion cycle?

Something definitely wrong there...the old transits normally don't stop rattling until you turn the engine off 
Pump timing might be out, or more likely your injectors could do with a good clean.

we have a 10 plate tdci rattles like a ba$tard when cold ford say its ok. also so had a tddi rattled from cold that had to have a timing chain at 40k
miles but also had poor starting you had to turn it over 3 to 4 time before it would properly.

I look after a few of these 'dura torque' transits, they are used as on site vehicles and they all have 100k plus on them and run all day
at low speed, stopping and starting. They have hydraulic cam followers and sound horrible on start up, your oil pressure could be a bit low, try
changing the oil and filter, also try a good flushing agent to help clear the oilways. hope this helps.
