Dave,

In the last input, ImageSize becomes Automatic (look at FullOptions of
the output).

Something like 
Show[GraphicsArray[{meanxmeanylp,actualxylp}], ImageSize -> {500, 250}]

looks more like what you want - though getting the images exactly the
same sixe as when plotted separately would have to take account of
margins, labels and ticks - suggesting ImageSize -> {500+,250+}
