but the initial load is the image and opening up dev tools and finding it in the sources/cache and saving it from there, chrome knows it's 56.1kb or whatever and just saves it out of cache, done.

As far as I remember from a previous project from a few years ago, the browser doesn't include a referrer for the download request, which can be used for a distinction. (You'll have to disable caching and E-Tags for this to work.)
