On the other hand you could see the mounts of the radiators on S1/P1 move very clearly just now! I wasn't even aware that those were moving normally. 
Why do they move?
to maximize exposure of the arrays to space (as much out of direct sunlight as possible). This maximizes the efficiency of cooling. Kind of like the same reason the solar arrays rotate. to maximize the direct sunlight hitting them.

Why were those objects on the back of the P1 and S1 trusses rotating back and forth?
Radiators trying to stay off angle off the sun...
Wait'll all 6 are open and rotating. That'll be impressive.

are the rotating solar panels 180 degrees out of phase? it seems like one side has the cooling panel pointing toward us and the other side has it pointing away. Is this normal? Does it matter?

ISS now weighs 509,000 pounds.
Still weighs nothing, but masses 509,000 pounds. (Heh, heh, heh!).

Curious...is the starboard radiator going to "flip around" to the back to make it uniform with the port?
