1985 300D strange screeching when under load

1985 300D 300K miles runs great no problems, reasonable pickup for a W123 diesel, nice and smooth...EXCEPT...

There's a strange screeching sound when engine is under load (heavy acceleration, going up a hill on the highway, etc.). It usually goes away on its own, if I change my speed a bit, or if I ask for more or less performance:

I removed all the belts and drove it around the block and still got the noise so that eliminates the fan, fan clutch, water pump, and all the accessories.

I am able to get the noise when in park but that's difficult to do, it lasts for only a second, and it seems to happen only when the engine is warmed up:

so that eliminates the driveshaft and friends.

So what's left? Could it be the turbo? Something internal? Is it serious? Can any issue with the timing chain cause this? I'm baffled.
