To print only the lines that don't match:

Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{a[substr($0,1,4)]=substr($0,5);next}
!(substr($0,5,4) in a)
' fileb filea

Or in 2 files "match" and "nomatch":

Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{a[substr($0,1,4)]=substr($0,5);next}
substr($0,5,4) in a {print substr($0,1,4) a[substr($0,5,4)] substr($0,9);next}
{print $0 > "nomatch"}
' fileb filea > "match"
