It sounds like they for the bottom edge of the door, to give it a seal-protected threshold to close to (like a front entrance door)
..or perhaps the threshold strip is for the bottom and the weatherstrip is for the top? My garage door has a strip at the top to stop wind and rain ingress.
Weatherstrip goes round the door to stop the wind blowing rain though any gaps.

Threshold strip is a rubber sill that stops rainwater from getting in under the door. It's shown on the same page of the above link.
I used two standard, screw-on door seals inside the bottom edge and they were cut to length. Cut the brush inserts to a slightly different length from the holders to avoid a gap. A 1" L-shaped plastic section neatly finished the top edge. One leg is hidden by the door. Total cost <£20.
