+Rather than comparing plots, it's faster and more precise to compare whether two netcdf files (i.e. a history or restart file between 2 model versions) are numerically identical. cdo diffv and nccmp (Matlab) seem to rely on outdated HDF5 libraries. Another tool that worked well was diffc. Just download the diffnc script, and run it.
