Default NM cable clamp question

I'm putting fan rated ceiling boxes in the bedrooms of my house since I
need to replace them anyway (see other thread) The boxes that I can
find do not have cable clamps built in but round knockouts on four
faces. I'm planning on using these:

seems to imply that it is OK to put two 14/2 through one clamp, is that
correct? That would make things neater if I could do that, but I don't
want to if it's prohibited by something or other.

Also, is there any prohibition against putting the clamps in "backwards"
that is with the screw and clamp inside the box? I don't need to do
this for this job but I could see some situations (e.g. putting a box in
an existing hole using existing wiring) where that might be desirable.

back up in the attic again...)
