That sounds like an oversight by the agent at the airport, so don't think you can count on that as the rules for traveling with a prior positive still need a nucleic acid/PCR test. I know the agents I had check tests in LHR, DXB, and other Intl stations were very diligent in checking the type of test. I guess you lucked out and got US agents who were more used to dealing with antigen tests as the norm for travel.
