No, the server does send the Content-Type header, but it's served with content negotiation. So if you request a PNG version, the server returns a PNG image (with "Content-Type: image/png"), and if you request a GIF version, the server returns a GIF image (with "Content-Type: image/gif"). Usually your browser sends an Accept header to tell the server what format your browser supports, and if your browser supports PNG, then a PNG version will be served, otherwise a GIF version will be served. So if, for example, you link an HTML 4.0 logo on validator.w3.org, I'd recommend to link it as "http://validator.w3.org/images/vh40", but if you specifically want a GIF version, just download "http://validator.w3.org/images/vh40.gif".
