fitted new battery new starter motor the first start in the mornings seems like the battrey is flat, engine bearly turns over, the earth lead gets quite warm.
After the first start rest of the day is ok.until the evening when getting cold again.
There is no drain on the battery,it just does not like cold weather.

check all leads for good connections, and also make sure that crimped lugs on earth and main starter to batt lead are good [have come across many that arn't] if not secure you could try soldering lugs on ,if you have equipment to do it. you could try with a decent jump lead,putting one lead to batt neg and other end to engine block and see if it turns faster ,if so then engine earth lead at fault. just a point is battery correct amp/hour for your vehicle and is correct grade of engine oil used-can make a difference 1st start up in mornings,
