After a bit of diagnosis I've come up with the following noise seeming to come from the rear of the rear driveshaft (see video below)

Any ideas?

Remove drive shaft and shake vigorously. That will tell you the noise is there.

If that is it, get a new shaft.

My credo
If you're not making mistakes, you're not learning.
^ yup

Might also be something in your brake drum. I had one come apart and all the springs and little brackets where rolling around in it. Does seem to be somewhat in tune with the D/S though, but unfortunately removal of some parts is the next step.
