Cranked barrel bolt that can have a padlock fitted?

I'm looking to lock a large wooden farm gate but because it doesn't sit flush/inline with the gate post (instead it partly closes against one edge) I need a cranked lockable bolt for it: I plan to fit the bolt to the squared off, 8 inch diameter gate post and drill a hole in the gate to take the bolt. Note: I don't want to use a standard straight bolt because the hole I drill will be too close to the edge of the gate's upright so will likely split over time, instead with a cranked bolt I can drill the hole about an inch or so from the edge.

To give an example of what I mean by cranked, I mean with an angle at the end of the bolt, like this:

or this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Solid-Brass-Necked-Barrel-Bolt/dp/B00O0OC5J6/

but despite much googling I can't seem to find one that will take a padlock. So it needs to be like the following but cranked:

Any ideas please?

I know you can get small ones for bathroom doors which have a 90 degree bend offset in them rather than sweeping like your link one.
Sure if you look around at tool sellers, as opposed to the likes of B&Q etc, you will probably find what you need.
 
can you put a small piece of wood underneath the lock itself so to move it out across the post , thats what I did , i had similar issue finding a good quality lock

wont give you a heavy duty security position as hole and padlock size will be greatly reduced but will give resistance to casual movement
you simply drill a hole through the "T" shaped section between open and closed positions
other choices is a chunky big padlock through the back loop on the padlock and hope it restricts the bolt going back enough to hold it locked
