Its probably the left mount that is shot. Because of the direction of rotation, under deceleration or in reverse the mount is compressed. When the rubber is gone its metal on metal & it sounds horrible. Under acceleration the motor lifts on the left mount.
The left mount is more likely to fail because of the fuel system being on that side. Mounts dont like a wash in diesel, the rubber soon degrades & fails.
I would do the left mount first & see if there is an improvement.

Good Luck
