Another Bilstein B14 rattle

Hi everyone,
So I’ve had a really annoying rattling coming from the rear of my T6 since the day I got it, already fitted with a B14 kit.
Having a bit of a read through the similar threads on here I fitted some oem shocks to see if the rattle stopped, which it did. I also noticed the shocks have the 4 marks from the spot welds on the chassis.
Has anyone fitted the replacement B14 upper bushes as a cure for similar rattling? I’m sceptical as the metal inner looks of similar size to the ones I have that rattle....

Picture of the replacement bushes from van style and the ones I have removed from my T6, complete with rubbing marks...

Been there .
you can file the dimples flat, and make sure you do the top bolts up when the weight of the van has compressed the suspension
 
@Rarebit did it stop the rattling?

I had thought about turning the bushes down at the ends a couple of mm deep to match the size of the oem shockers.
