You incorrigible idiot Wormley.
OF COURSE ALL OBSERVERS MEASURE TWLS TO BE C.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE BALLISTIC THEORY PREDICTS.
NOBODY HAS EVER MEASURED OWLS.
If they ever manage to, they will find it is c+v, where v is the speed of the
observer relative to the source.

3.2 One-Way Tests of Light-Speed Isotropy
Note that while these experiments clearly use a one-way light path
and find isotropy, they are inherently unable to rule out a large
class of theories in which the one-way speed of light is
anisotropic.These theories share the property that the round-trip
speed of light is isotropic in any inertial frame, but the one-way
speed is isotropic only in an ether frame. In all of these theories
the effects of slow clock transport exactly offset the effects of the
anisotropic one-way speed of light (in any inertial frame), and all
are experimentally indistinguishable from SR. All of these theories
predict null results for these experiments. See Test Theories above,
especially Zhang (in which these theories are called "Edwards
frames").

All those experiments fully support the BaT.
OWLS is 100% isotropic according to and because of the BaT.

You are wrong. They won't measure c+v. They will measure c because they
insist that the wvae length of incoming light is changed.. The only way that
they can measure a different light speed is by assuming that the wvae length
for a specific light source to remain as a universal constant. In that case
any change in frequency is evidence for varying light speed.

The question, of course, is whether they support BaT?
They seem to support SR/GTR fairly well... :-)
In any event, if one has an OWLS of c+v one way, and c-v the other,
the TWLS speed is distance / time (one of the few times a certain
other poster is actually correct!) which means that:
A -> B: t = l/(c+v)
B -> A: t = l/(c-v)
A->B->A: t = l/(c+v) + l/(c-v) = 2c/(c^2-v^2)
which means that the TWLS is 2l / (2c/(c^2-v^2)) = (c^2-v^2)/c < c.
Or, one can postulate c-v one direction and work out the w such
that TWLS = c, or
l/(c-v) + l/w = 2l/c
or
l(cw + c(c-v))/(wc(c-v)) = 2lw(c-v)/(wc(c-v))
l(cw + c(c-v)) = 2lw(c-v)
cw + c(c-v) = 2w(c-v) = 2wc-2wv
w(c-2c+2v) = -c(c-v)
w(2v-c) = c(v-c)
w = c(c-v)/(c-2v) > c+v
In any event, TWLS cannot be c for the ballistic theory since the
light source has moving atoms. The error would be on the order
of a few hundred meters a second, or about 10^-6 c -- but it is there,
for that particular theory.
For Algol, about 92 ly away, such an error would result in a
discrepancy of almost an hour in certain measurements.
