I was looking at a similar post for merging two files and have come across an expression posted by ripat.

On similar lines...
awk 'NR==FNR{_[NR]=$0;print $0}NR!=FNR{print _[FNR];_[FNR]!=$0"(DIFFERENCE)"}' f1 f2

This is untested code... You may need to correct it.. explanation is given in this post
