Arvid, I hope your questions have been answered, Sometimes the jocularity obscures the legitimacy.
You've had one reply that "One side will be ground flat and the other is usually kind of rough."
Is your plate like so? (I doubt you would have asked the question if it were blatantly obvious).
The other point of parallelism you've answered yourself and I agree.
So, to reiterate, because I'm curious, are some surface plates ground to the same flatness and surface precision on both sides?
