'.gif' doesn't appear in (the literal string) 'sequence-item'.
Possibly you should try:

<dtml-in "images[FSSession['LoginCompanyImagesPath']].fileIds()">
  <dtml-if "_.string.find(_['sequence-item'],'.gif') >= 0 or
_.string.find(_['sequence-item'],'.jpg') >= 0">
    ..do some things if a .gif or .jpg file
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

(You no doubt figured that out about eighteen seconds
