Sure thing.
Here's my idea with awk:
1. read your ComparisonFile into an array indexed by $0 (hint: FNR==NR)
2. for each odd line in MainFile, substituting first , by itself appended with the last field on a line followed by : . Set a flag
3. If flag is set and you're on an even line, output the line and reset the flag.
