Is this a usage in some dialect of British English of which I'm unaware?

I don't think so, but a google search revealed that a rear end eye is part of a spring in a car, so perhaps they were trying to do something with that and goofed in placing it in the CV hierarchy??

Oh, that's my something new learned today, but I doubt if I'll retain it.
Thanks JoAnn

Oh dear, I would have hated to see the results of that Google search! Your probably on some kind of list now!  ;D

I read it this morning and I'm still dazed and confused. Rear End = Animal Eye? I could understand if it said Politician = horses rear end. LOL

I wish iStock would drop the DA bit - it's a nice idea in theory but doesn't work in practice.  That one is especially bizarre.  The only thing I can figure is that some animals (e.g., fish) have markings that look like eyes on their rears to fool predators into biting the wrong part - rather have them snip off a bit of your tail than take your head off.  For example, many butterfly fish - here's one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foureye_butterflyfish).  Also caterpillars, some moths, probably more.  But it's pretty rare and would be weird if it made it into the iStock DA scheme.

They need to have not one of the listed DA terms be a possibility - or maybe even the default. In theory the DA could be what makes IS search work better than anything else - in reality it is almost the opposite.
