Do nothing. Normal winter soon sort it out. If you must, bit of teb in with some mineral.
Leave it. If it had been half way up to your knees on 100%, not just in rows then a PGR might be considered. Sort it in the spring with canopy management altering the N doses. A hard winter and that might be the only osr crop left anyway! IMO most of the autumn PGR work is done by sellers of those PGRs. A sniff of boron if you must but I don't see any other reason to go through the crop soon from that photo.

Pigeons will soon have that off to the floor

If you've seen any sign of flea beetle on it i wouldn't do any pgr. I had rape last November that you could of lost your dogs in and by march the larve in the stem had thinned it right out and back to the floor.

What's wrong with teb? What does agronomist say? Is s,/he going to come shoot the pigeons for you?

Dont bother with Autumn Caryx. Did a split trial last year and made not difference at all.
A 1L+ dose in the spring did a very good job imo (ours was v tall). Untreated tramlines were going flat
Neither! Save your money until spring.
Yes, but I'm not your agronomist and I have no vested interest in lining BASF's pockets either. If it was knee high by now then I'd consider a dose of teb. Wait and see what winter brings then manage the canopy accordingly. The pigeons won't bother that. A decent frost will knock that back. That's a nice position to be in. Pat yourself on the back 
When and how did you establish that please? You're the kind of grower we can all learn from.
