You could store the hex of each binary in temp files, then compare them with diff. This would give you the visual hex difference.

xxd creates a hex dump, and we're telling it to print one byte per line, then cut splits on space and compares the correct column

you could also use od instead of xxd

Mac Os Merge Tool

My go-to is for stuff like this is 010 Editor. It has a very customizable hex bin-diff, configurable min match length, synchronized scrolling, and much more.

Beyond Compare 4 does a pretty good job, especially if you have multiple binary files to compare. However, it's matching isn't obviously configurable and can be wonky, depending on the use-case.
