Does anyone know if you can obtain a retirement visa from a Thai embassy in a third party country rather than my country of origin?

TLDR : Answer Summary
It is possible to obtain a NON-O visa (retirement visa) from a Thai embassy located in a third-party country, but a NON-OA visa cannot be obtained this way.

You can get a non O, not a non OA.

There is no such thing a “retirement” visa. You can get a visa based on being over 50 years of age.

A non immigrant O visa is valid for 90 days and would give you 90 days on entry.

A non immigrant OA visa is valid for one year. It’s a multiple entry visa so you can come and go as many times as you like during that year. Each entry would give you 365 days stay, providing you have health insurance for that period.
