Easy. The F-82's tail fillet was much more prominent than the P/F-51D or H and reached all the way forward to the antenna mast. The fillet on the 51's wasn't nearly as prominent/big and ended about a foot before the antenna mast. Plus, look at the photo again and you'll see the antenna wire and small portion of the port tail.
 
See what I mean? AND to pile on.....the fuselage access hatch and overall shape of the rear fuselage is a dead giveaway as well.

I think that is the other airplane, parked next to it.
I did go back and look and this time, I noticed the shadows on the ground all show single fuselage aircraft, except for the one you mentioned.
This gives even more creedence that what we're really seeing are the two aircraft parked next to each other.
