Assuming identical questions are literally identical, I'd try splitting the files into individual questions, removing the question number, and taking the checksum of the rest of each question(i.e. echo "question text" | md5sum). You might keep files with with one question each, named their checksums, for later reference... Make a big list of all checksums from both papers, sort it. Any duplicate questions will show up as two of the same checksum in a row.
