Well am I correct in assuming your site is not using any query strings
with paramater src ?
If so then you can intercept all url's that have a query string with
src= in it and 301 redirect them to wherever.

How did you do your current redirection?

Your url's for ordering could be disallowed in robots.txt and also
nofollowed - unless your order pages have some content you
specifically want robots to index. I don't let my order forms get
indexed, but that's by choice (to prevent fraudsters and spammers).
All the information would have already been provided before getting to
the order form in my case, so there's nothing new needing indexing.
