I have a few 3/8" double expansion concrete anchors and noticed that on one side it is threaded and on the other it is not.

It looks to me that the threaded end should go into the hole first. As the bolt is used to cinch the mounted item the back of the mounted item will compress the front side of the expansion anchor toward the threaded part while at the same time threaded part pulls forward to expand the anchor in the hole.
