There is a technique for comparing any two images (text, pictures, anything) by quickly alternating between the two, set to different colors. The parts that are different then appear in different colors. I don't have any links, but I know there are (free?) programs that help with that. You probably can do something similar (static, not dynamic) with any graphics program. Create some kind of pixel graphics from a single layer and import it into a layer. Do this with the same layer of both designs. Set the two layers to different colors, and set them so that they get added, or that there is some kind of transparency. You'll see three colors: the mix color where they cover the same ground and one of the two individual layer colors at the places where they have differences. Maybe you can even create a color filter and not show the mix color, so that all that's visible are the differences. Maybe even your Gerber viewer can do something similar.
