Question rear noise - "hollow rattle" '83 300SD

Hi all,

Recently started driving my '83 300SD on a daily basis again and have noticed an annoying "rattle". Best way to describe it is a hollow rattle. At first I thought maybe my spare was loose in the trunk. It is not a constant rattle but more noticeable when the road is a little bumpy. Any ideas? shocks possibly...transmission mount? It is difficult to diagnose because there is nothing I can do to create the "rattle" when the vehicle is at a stand still. Any similar experience? Thanks in advance!
