Simple ring drop latch with an operator on both sides of the gate?

You only needed this bit of the url:

Yes, but you'd have to be able to turn the ring so the bar is almost
upright to allow the gate to swing either way. Thus you'd have to
leave out the 'slot' part of the latch.

It's a possible/reasonable solution though, it would probably be best
to add a 'stop' of some sort so that the latch bar is held just beyond
upgright when you open the gate.
