I have rebuilt a site for a client but want to limit the SEO fallout upon deployment of their new website.
How can I compare sitemaps from both sites in an effort to make sure that the sites are the same, or at least very close

A Google search led me to this program:
It's free and online, let us know how you get on.
Download both sitemaps to your desktop, right click on them and select 'open with' then select Excel
Select 'As an XML Table' from the next prompt, then click yes on the next prompt about not all schema being visible.
Copy and paste the two different lists of URLs into a single document in adjacent rows, then use conditional formatting or formulas to find the matching URLs.
For large sitemaps: files containing: ~ 7,000,000+ URLs, you can use this script (doesn't require to install anything).
