1) The picture is doctored
2) The picture is correct and was taken after the collapse of the South Tower and proves there was no damage
3) The picture is correct and was taken after the collapse of the South Tower, but the damage in the NIST picture somehow happened afterwards.

So the issue we are left with regarding the pictures is the timing of the pictures used in the NIST report.
Is this solvable? If not, maybe we can't compare these images as two seperate truths as if they were seperate (and different) images of the same point in time.

I think it is correct to say that the actions that caused the damage to WTC7 are the collapses of one or both WTC1 and WTC2.
I do think, however, that not all of the evidence of damage shows right away but can take some time to show up. After the initial damage is inflicted on WTC7 it is possible that the damaged area can degrade more as time passes (pieces that were broken, cracked, loosened can fall off).
Anyway, my point is that time can be a factor and it is possible that the two images are truth at different points in time.
If we can't find out the time of the NIST image then the two images do not necessarily contradict each other.
