Is there any chance you can compile from source? There is an easy way
of doing this in 3.8. (There will be an even easier one after 3.8).

Requirements:
- ParaView compiled with Python
- NumPy

Recipe:
- Select 2 objects in the pipeline browser
- Apply Programmable Filter
- Use a script like the following:

output.PointData.append(inputs[0].PointData['Normals'] -
inputs[1].PointData['Normals'], 'difference')

(replace Normals with whatever array you want to compare).

Note that you will still need to merge the blocks beforehand if your
objects are multi-block.
