What become the LT transforms if the speed of light depends on
the observers' velocity ?
_______________________

Hereafter is adapted Einstein's derivation of the LT, assuming that
*all observers will always measure the speed of light to be the same
no matter what their state of uniform linear motion is* (Wikipedia):

After supposing that two frames of reference, S and S', are each
in uniform translatory motion relative to the other, the velocity
of S' relative to S being v,

1) Einstein began his derivation with the relations
(1) x' = ax + bt, and
(2) t' = ex + gt

2) Then he claimed that at the origin of S', x' = 0 and x = vt.

That is a way to express that the origin of S' has velocity v
w.r.t. the origin of S and that the origins coincide at t=t'=0.
Calling this a "claim" shows that you don't know what you
are talking about.
