I thought the whole purpose of this exercise was to get clocks in sync
without using light signals so that a real world experiment could be
done to measure one way light speed isotropy.

Yes if you move two side by side synched clocks symmetrically in the
opposite directions at the same velocity and stop them
simultaneously....these two clocks will remain synchronized according
to SR. These two clocks can be used to measure the OWLS directly.

If you have an inertial frame relative to which you can move them that way
