I don't know.  I only know that the spools are *designed* for use in 
sewing machines and so the thread has to be used as it comes off the 
spool.  Therefore, use it as it comes off the spool for handsewing.

Of course, when you wind your bobbins in pairs, it doesn't make any 
difference which end you wind onto which bobbin!  Just which way you 
thread a needle.
