As far as I'm aware once the passenger airbag deploys, it's a replacement dashboard as it bursts through the weaker part / flap on ignition.
Deployment of the passenger’s airbag leads to the dashboard being destroyed.

On a RHD S2, the glove compartment sits behind the airbag panel.
Try removing the glove compartment (torx screws, then lift out) to get access to the area behind the airbag panel, and hopefully the rattle.

Did see your post on Club-XM, but was on here when an answer dawned.
Haynes and the Citroen workshop manual didn't prove helpful.
