For me, the reverse functionality would be more useful: identifying duplicates that are the same book from their binary content, but MAY have different tags (or could be the same).

The duplicate file finder utilities I have seen DO NOT recognize a duplicate file when the tag changes, otherwise I would run files through a de-dupe software BEFORE adding.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
I've been using the Find Duplicates plugin for calibre with the binary option. Please note that any changes to the file such as using Polish, Modify Epub, etc. will make this option useless.
