Mind you, I may also be off target.
I thought no, this weekend, I may hook up the durametric and log the start up procedure.

Although I am still learning about the systems, it would seem logical that the wide bands are an integral part of the start up procedure, ie, they get warmed up and kill the choke.

I think with the O2 wide bands it is important to note that the misfires occur before they are warmed up, so i excluded them as a culprit for the cold start misfires.

I have some durametric logs for mine too so it would be good to compare. I have ones with and without MAF. I will post them once the wife leaves her laptop.................................

This morning I gave it a start by holding the throttle down a little so the engine speed would be a little higher upon ignition. When it fired, a big puff of smoke came out of its backside and I held it at 2k rpm for a couple of minutes and moved off - no codes.
As I am in the city and I cannot wring it out (really) I saw 1.0 bar at 5k rpm a couple of times in second; I suspect that it would have gone up to 1.2 if I really put my foot into it.
I then brought it over to my shop and went through the hoses - everything seems tight, no obvious rips or tears in the silicone.
It would seem logical to be able to rule out the tune as Napoleon is having the exact same issue on virtually my sister car (X50/Mileage), and because under load, my car absolutely howls and is not missing at all. Further contemplation about the familiarity of Napoleon's problem and mine is drawing me back to thinking that it may in fact be a bunged up throttle body; as both of these components are consistent between both of us, we have the same mileage, vintage and programming, this may in fact be the culprit.
My thinking is that the throttle butterfly is slow to react to the rest of the integrated systems (fuel primarily) and I am getting a momentary 'rich' cycle that does not have enough air to burn the fuel in the cylinder.
Thoughts?
Cheers,

I would datalog a 3rd gear pull to 6K RPM shift into 4th gear and hold it for a few seconds. Upload your results or email it to me.. I will let you know what I see. RPM. Load, Lambda, Knock retard, CFM, and boost

I do not think a throttle body issue would give you misfires on just two cylinders. Normally misfires like that are ignition.
Have you two tried doing a throttle position reset? Turn key to run position but do not start the car. Do not touch anything just let car sit like that for five minutes.
Also so have you two checked the two cam solenoid brackets?

Ignition coils are new, so are the plugs. I even swapped the packs from cylinder 1 and 4 to cylinder 3 and 6. If it is ignition related, it certainly is not plug and coil related.
Throttle calibration was also performed.

Brackets are fine. Cylinder 3 and 6 are both on different banks (closest to the fire wall). A failed bracket leads to failures on 1 bank so that also doesn't fit, but they were inspected.

The codes only pop up on cold start, correct?
You also mentioned you can see other pending codes on other cylinders but they do not pop up, correct?
Have you removed/cleaned/inspected the throttle body and check that the position readings are accurate?
Also have you check the readings from the injectors?
