Comment (by folletto):
FWIW, on .com we iterated on these labels a lot, and we ended up finding
that this pairing:
* Uploaded themes
* WordPress.com themes
The information architecture context is different, so take this comment
with some healthy skepticism, yet "Uploaded" even if in the .com context
is... a bit off... turned out to be clearer than "installed" (confusion
between activating and installing), "local" (local to what?) and "my"
(people don't think as "mine" apparently).

For reference, here's the criteria that were used to select the "Installed
themes" - "WordPress.org themes" pairing in #37661:
1. The pair in the sidebar should be semantically consistent: "Installed
themes" and "WordPress.org themes" are both pairs of adjective+noun that
identify the place where the themes are.
2. The structure is symmetric too: "$place themes", which makes this
control potentially extensible in the future.
3. While not a priority, it's nice that "WordPress.org themes" reinforces
the source of the themes and the trust of the site they come from,
reminding the users where they can find them outside of Customizer. This
is especially relevant when the installation wasn't manual but provided by
the host.
To be clear: this is the list of criteria that were used in the design
above, but they aren't cast in stone, and we can decide to not match them
if we have a good reason to.
