You cannot get information from a channel that no longer exists.
SIP/destination almost certainly no longer exists when the h exten
runs on SIP/origin.

I would suggest using hangup handlers [1].  Add a hangup handler to
SIP/origin and SIP/destination.  The handler will run on the respective
channel when it hangs up.  These two channels will hang up at different
times so you can only get the current channel's information.  If you have
to process both channel's information then you are going to have to do that
after both channels have hung up.

Always originator? Always destination? Depends on what?

In your case, the h exten is run by SIP/origin and Local/dest_ext_num;2.
These
channels executed dialplan when the call was originally placed.  The h
exten runs
on the respective channel in the last context the channel executed
dialplan.  This
is usually at the Dial application.
