They're double-sided disks. Not too uncommon. If you want to see some
really strange 8" floppy disks, I have a box of Memorex disks that are
hard-sectored and have the sector/index hole near the outer edge of the
disk, rather than near the rim.
I had a drive that used those disks. I think it was the first 8" drive
I had, and was never able to use it. It was a memorex drive as I recall.
