   The only way to find out is by performing an experiment.   
   The results of my simulations show that not all clocks behave the same.

   Also this should part the experiment. As you expect such a clock   
   will read differently and if that is the case you find the reason   
   by investigation how this clock is build and operates.

   This behaviour differences when you put the clock in a linear accelerator   
   depending about the direction of the bouncing light pulse versus the direction   
   of movement.   
   This behaviour is not the same if the direction of the bouncing light pulse   
   is the-same as the direction of movement versus if the two directions are   
   different i.e. perpendicular. In the last case the behaviour is described   
   by the Lotentz transformation.   
   If you put such a clock in an centrifuge you have a high chance that   
   the clock will not operate. This is specific described as this link:

   General speaking you have to study how they both operates.   
   You can not do that by performing a Gedankenexperiment.   
   Studying the reply by Roland Franzius you can see how complicated this is.
