Not perhaps as convenient as you might desire, but how about something like:

od -A x -x file1 > file1.odx.txt
od -A x -x file2 > file2.odx.txt
diff  file1.odx.txt  file2.odx.txt

Both addresses and data expressed in Hex.

You could use cmp to display the differences, but imho the o/p is
incomprehensible.
