The differences look like the result of using different editors, or options when doing something like a convert. You could open both versions in the same editor, run whatever code cleanup or HTML formatting function they have and save them. That should remove a lot of the markup differences.

The alternative is to use calibre to convert both to text. Then do a text comparison of the results.

Also, the third thing you marked is not a difference. That's a unicode character - probably an emdash. The calibre editor marks unicode characters them in yellow to make it easy to see. The differences are on the lines that have the blue background. The grey background is to give some context around the changes.
