You can retrieve this from the actual object instance, this worked for me:

from django.core import urlresolvers
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType

content_type = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(object.__class__)
object_admin_url = django.core.urlresolvers.reverse("admin:%s_%s_change" % (content_type.app_label, content_type.model), args=(object.pk,))
