@ Philippe,
I do understand your idea and I think generally speaking it would work.
What unfortunately I think turns the whole thing into a nightmare is that there are corresponding parts which in the 2 ecosystems have differently located+oriented pivots which makes the comparing process a true challenge.
This implies you should start analyzing vertices/surfaces location of the part to understand how parts are oriented in space.
I did something similar in a script in the 3D software I'm using in order to automatically replace parts with corresponding high polygons one, but as mentioned it has been way more complex than initially anticipated.
The rounding of coordinates which occurs during the conversion process doesn't make the process any easier :-(
