According to the LDS, do Michael and Gabriel have resurrected bodies?

The main reason it says "many" rather than all is because some were called to remain as missionaries in the spirit world (See D&C 138:30-31). So beyond those we know are resurrected (such as 'Abraham' who is already exalted - see D&C 132:29), we can only speculate. It is safe to assume given the passages quoted that not all these 'Old Testament' saints were resurrected at this time.

I would say it is not safe to assume they are not, but I think we only know for sure of John the Baptist, Peter and James as having resurrected bodies, for the reason that they layed their hands on Joseph Smith's and Oliver Cowdery's heads to transfer the priesthood (see D&C 13).
A scripture that seems to indicate most, if not all, ancient prophets and many others are also resurrected is
D&C 138:50-53
50 For the dead had looked upon the long absence of their spirits from their bodies as a bondage.
51 These the Lord taught, and gave them power to come forth, after his resurrection from the dead, to enter into his Father’s kingdom, there to be crowned with immortality and eternal life,
52 And continue thenceforth their labor as had been promised by the Lord, and be partakers of all blessings which were held in reserve for them that love him.
Just for reference, the bible also speaks of resurrection of saints together with Jesus,
Matthew 27:52-53
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
