You can remove the vertical hinges from the tail gate, fit the swing type to it on the right side and use the left side hook catch as the lock

Worked on my old Series

I did this on my S111 over 20-years ago and 10 years ago to my current 90 and it works very well.
Just drill & fit a pair of hinges to the O/S of the tailgate and then fit a second up & over catch to the bottom corner of the N/S (stops it twisting if you have a load in the back of the vehicle).
The tailgate will also take the attachement of a side-hinged spare wheel carrier.
