LDInspector way with GUI (needs Java>=11+JavaFX):
1. add files/directory
2. select first file to compare
3. choose PartList tab
4. right click "CS" column header to "Copy row" ==> your first file is now in CS and C1
5. select next file
6.1. manual way: compare CS and C1 directly
6.2. automatic way: right click "C1" column header to "Subtract CS amounts from this row" ==> in C1 is the difference
7. repeat steps 4-6 for more files if needed
LDInspector way with command line (needs Java>=8):
1. use command line "java -cp ldinstr.jar ldinsp.tools.LDITBillOfMaterial HERE_YOUR_FILE" per file
2. compare text output: each step of each contained model is printed separately and summed up in "all" section
example output for set 603:
I hope LDInspector helps solving your question.
