photo real: no / photo accurate: yes

've recently encountered some cognitive dissonance on TER profiles.  With the two questions about the lady's photos there are obviously four possible permutations.  The three most common are pretty clear:  yes/yes (YSIWYG), no/no (B&S), yes/no (the pics are her but photoshopped beyond recognition or she is now older, heavier, less toned, covered in ink, etc.).

However, I only recently noticed profiles that say that the photos are not real but are accurate.  Specifically, the link below goes to a thread where a fellow hobbyist was dealing with this cognitive dissonance.  Unfortunately and conspicuously, the lady's profile no longer has a link to her page.  She does not seem to be listed on the agency's site at all now.

So I am forced to infer that no/yes is TER's way of saying that the photos are stolen but that the lady is a dead ringer for the lady in the pics.  Am I right?
