Comment (by LittleBigThing):

 Some additional stuff if we would go down this way.

 Assuming that the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/36424/36424.patch
 latest patch] is slightly modified:
 - adding an additional class `post-com-closed`
 - adding the code before row 658. This means that 'Comments are closed'
 comes first in HTML markup (if this isn't ideal for accessibility, it
 would be easier to put the lock in the bottom right corner CSS-wise)
 the following CSS would work quiet well:

 {{{
 .post-com-closed {
     position: relative;
     left: 3px;
     width: 17px;
     height: 17px;
     border: 2px solid #fff;
     border-radius: 11px;
     background: #ccc;
     color: #fff;
   }
 .post-com-closed:before {
     font-size: 12px;
     position: relative;
     top: -6px;
 }
 }}}

 The color of the lock could/might be darker (like 72777c) if necessary
 with regard to accessibility.

 Another point, the text 'Comments are closed' should probably be displayed
 on mobile instead of the lock (as for the number of (unapproved)
 comments). This is not yet the case in this proposal, but some additional
 CSS would do it.
