Gravitational redshift is due to a change in the arrival of the speed
of light when the wavelength of the source is defined as a universal
constant.

Sure if you have separates sources for M and M' then they will detect
simultaneity for their sources. Why Because the speed of light is
isotropic in both frames.

If A/A' is a single source and B/B' is a single source M will detect
the light fronts arrive at him simultaneously at time (L/c) second and
M will predict that M' will detect that the light fronts will arrive
at M' simultaneously at time (gamma*L/c).

You're trying to have it both ways. You are saying if there are four
lightning strikes at A, A', B, and B' then the aether is stationary
relative to both the embankment frame of reference AND the train frame
of reference, but if A/A' is a single lightning strike and B/B' are a
single lightning strike then the aether is at rest in the train frame
of reference relative to the perspective of the train OR the aether is
at rest in the embankment frame of reference relative to the
perspective of the embankment.

This is what I am saying is physically impossible.

Light travels at 'c' relative to the aether, not a frame of reference.

You're trying to have it both ways. You are saying if there are four
lightning strikes at A, A', B, and B' then the aether is stationary
relative to both the embankment frame of reference AND the train frame

at rest in the embankment frame of reference relative to the
perspective of the embankment.

This is what I am saying is physically impossible.

I understand that this is not what you think you are saying, but you
are. In order for light to behave as it is in my animation, the aether
must be in different states in each frame of reference. It must be at
rest relative to the embankment AND at rest relative to the train in
order for the light to propagate as it does in the animation.

To simply say it does what it does because the speed of light is
isotropic in both frames is exactly what I am saying is incorrect. You
cannot simply place the magical 'isotropic' qualifier on the frames
and then have light waves perform magic tricks. You can if you want,
but you are then incorrect.

Light travels at 'c' relative to the aether, not a frame of
reference.

If one accepts that light between two places mutually at rest will
always travel at the same speed, then if the clocks measure different
times for travelling the same distance, they can't be right.
Note that that can use any signals/objects .. not just light .. as
long as you know it is travelling at the same speed in both
directions, you can synchronise clocks with it.

That is NOT what Einstein' "synchronous clocks" means! Here's what
it actually means:
IF a system is at rest whatever conducts light at c, then your
definition holds good. But if a system is moving at v in that space,
then a ray will travel realtive to it at c-v in its direction of
motion and at c+v in the return direction, Givwn that, as in
Einstein's own paper, then one has to change the settings per
successive clock of the moving system by -vx/c^2 seconds in order for
them to be "synchronous".
It is obvious that such clocks, set to measure the speed of light as
constant in all directions even though it isn't, are NOT actually
synchronous other than in terms of EINSTEIN'S weird definition.
