What kind of part, stamped or milled?
If it is a stamped part (sheet metal), one side is "master" (even though CAD is master, one side is more master than the other, re the stock thickness tolerance).
The only time I've seen this in a model is for extrustions. The 'master' side of the CAD model is the side that the extrusion punch is on, since it determines the 'straight' wall, the other side of stock 'thins' due to the forming process. So, the 'punch' side of stock is profile 0.020
My general rule: Unless it is specifically called out otherwise, non-constant thickness surfaces get the profile tolerance on both sides.
Pretty much, for a milled part, I would say the profile applies to "both sides" of stock, but if the profile is 0.020 (total) and the thickness is +/-0.010, then the thickness is a refinement tolerance, meaning you can't be -0.009" on both sides of stock because you would then be 0.018" thin.
