I've landed at Mercer several times, spoken with the owner, walked the field, flown over, driven by, etc quite a few times over the years.
I'm gonna say "no" on the 2nd T-33 with 99.99%+ certainty.

I'm going to have to agree with Kyleb. I've driven by and stopped at Mercer a number of times over the last 20 or so years, and cannot recall seeing a 2nd T-33.

I am a big Crusader fan, and hated seeing Buno 145326 rot away and be continously vandalized. I got in touch with the Museum of Naval Aviation and sent them some pictures. They were pissed- they decided to send it somewhere else as the navy seems to never let go of any of their airframes anyway. It was dismantaled about 3-4 years ago and is at the Evergreen Aviation Museum restoration facillity in Arizona. I really hope they paint the jet as it was when it chased Regulous missiles in Hawaii and not the bland Navy/Marine reserve scheme it was in at Mercer.
