Since you mention /etc,  re you dealing with IBM's service convention:
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=descriptions-dircmp-compare-directories>?
    ... Because IBM products do not create files into /etc or /var, there is no
    possibility that SMP/E installation of an IBM product or service will 
overlay
    your own files within /etc or /var.
(more in a subtopic)

"diff", recommended by David C. Can  be useful.  After
    diff -r dir1 dir2 > diff-results.txt

Inspect diff-results.txt and do one of the following:
o Copy selected members from the other directory
o Use edited diff-results.txt as input to /bin/patch.
o Manually edit selected members.

Does IBM recommend making changes to /etc as SMP/E USERMODs and
using established techniques for reconciling USERMODs?

ISRSUPC and IEBUPDTE appear to be irrelevant.
