Maybe pieces of disintegrated glow plugs? Sometimes if the injector spray pattern is bad the ends melt right off them.

Actually, one gauge and a valve will work. The valve lets you isolate the control pressure regulator from the system. Close it and you read system pressure, open it and you read control pressure. J.C. Whitney sells a CIS gauge set that has all the adapters you need. I'm generally pretty skeptical of J.C. Whitney stuff but this seems pretty well made (in the U.S.A., no less.) It even includes a bleed valve for purging air out of the gauge lines.
