Agreed, it's just that only eyes and costume is probably about 2 perks and is certainly less than 5 points in comparable abilities.

It may not be the official explanation anymore (depends on the creative team, really), but I'd treat his DR as Force Field regardless of whether it actually is.
I don't think it rises to that level in GURPS terms. He's protected the odd person by putting his cape over them (usually as protection from his powers which isn't necessary in GURPS), but he hasn't shown the capacity to pick up objects and shield them as equipment.

Force Field nominally protects anything you are hauling around which for Superman could be as large as an entire aircraft carrier weighing 97 ktons as only Medium Encumbrance.
