Nope. Unless the spring shop (ESPO Springs and Things) bushed them wrong, which would mean that the old leaf springs were also in backward. The non-threaded bushing is in this end of the spring. I also lined them up side by side with the old leaf springs to be sure. The old ones were the same way.

Are you saying that the end with the "wraparound leaf" should be the front?

Here is a pic from the net showing how these are on the rear end of the spring:
