I'm not familiar with that specific model, but does it have an oil bath air cleaner (probably not), or any source for crankcase oil to be drawn into the engine, such as a crankcase breather that vents into the air cleaner ot intake manifold?

Some diesels even have little vent tubes under the valve cover that go down into the intake passages in the cylinder head.

If it has any type of crankcase vent into the intake, and something is missing or damaged, the engine could get s slug of it's own crankcase oil going down a slope, and overspeed, and smoke.

Also, if the crankcase is overfilled (possibly due to an incorrect dipstick) crankcase oil ingestion into the engine intake at certain angles could occur, also.
