Is your 2-stroke data for a medium speed diesel or a low speed one? The example of 90 r/min suggests a low speed diesel whereas the comparison to the U-boat diesel should be using a 2-stroke of comparable speed.
I don´t have data for the Jumo 211 injection pressure, but the DB 605 using Bosch pump had an injection pressure of some 150-180 bar, i.e. very close to the pressures employed in e.g. the Mercedes-Benz 200 car diesel from the 1980s.
