Since the difference between single sided, and double sided, is quite
often just whether or not it was tested and passed the test as double
sided, buy the SS disks, and try them.

There was a big discussion of this in the 'hobby' press many years ago.
What it boiled down to, was that nobody changed the 'stock material'
that was fed through the 'punch press' for making the floppies. It was
all a matter of what they needed to ship, as to how the stuff was
tested.
