It is informative. It is telling you, "This side is the FRONT, and should be facing TOWARD the ENEMY, not you, you fucking crayon munching lunatic!"
I thought as much just from playing videogames and knowing how a claymore is supposed to work in the general sense.
But I would argue that this is poor and ambiguous labeling, but I guess it's simple enough of a device that it becomes clear anyways. Presumably with opposite labels on the opposite side.

I imagine someone panicking, not thinking clearly, thinking that an instructional label is on the side they should be looking at, and therefore putting it the wrong way around. Like if there was a sticker on a rifle that said "front towards enemy" you wouldn't hold the rifle such that the sticker was facing the enemy.
It takes so little effort to fix ambiguous labeling, it makes me annoyed when it's not fixed, especially in safety critical situations.
