I agree with your ruling for the reasons you gave though it may be prudent to evaluate if they should be added to genderless list with the post Nats REG update.

All angels are male by default (except the 2 females from AW). FLC is male too. Genderless is typical reserved for a group that consists of males and females.

The depiction is a single lion which is male because of the mane.

All angels? As per ORDIR I believed they would follow the rest of the 'non-human' category and be based on art?  Or are you saying that there is no art depicting female angels?

From ORDIR:

Gender

Human Characters
In Redemption®, most humans are either male or female. Usually the picture makes it
obvious which a character is, but sometimes it is difficult to tell (sometimes there are a male
and a female in the picture, and you don’t know to which the name refers). In this case, use
the Scripture verse as the guide.

Non-Human Characters
These characters are also treated as having a gender. This is determined using the following:
• Card Title/Verse text: If the title or verse refers to a character with words such as ‘he’ or
‘his’ or ‘Prince’, etc., then the character is to be treated as male.
• Card Art: If the character appears to be male, it is treated as male. If the character appears
to be female, it is treated as female

Dual-Gender Characters
Sometimes a card will represent exactly two characters having different genders based on the
scripture or art, thus it is treated as both male and female.

Genderless Characters
There are only a few Characters in the game that do not give clues as to gender, and are thus
treated as genderless.

I would say that:

One of Seven
Angel from the Sun
Angelic Warrior

Are at least not 'clearly male', at least from my interpretation.  That is not saying they couldn't be male, but they all have aspects that make me question it.

A LOT of classic art depicts males in a rather feminine looking manner. That doesn’t make them female though.

What about angel at bethesda or angel from the sun? I could see the case made for either of them.

What about the Might Warrior art you considered of the knight. That looked distinctly female. 

I'd disagree that it was "distinctly female," and I explained to you that it was Sir Galahad. And after that, you changed your mind about if it was a female. So, I'm not saying these are females, but I think it should be considered.
If you can show me that they are not, I'll accept it. If you can't, I'll still accept the ruling, but I just think it'd be cooler and more interesting from a gameplay perspective if they were female.
And a side note, (not that it proves anything) but Henry John Stock made art of females primarily, so that gives some strength to the angel from the sun argument. I couldn't find anything about Alison Carr, so I can't really say for angel at bethesda, but I had always thought it was a female.
