Combining PDFs and sorting similar pages

I have two PDF files and contents are partly overlapping, i.e. (quite a) number of pages are both PDF files.
I might combine both files into a 3rd one.
But, from that point on, how would I need to proceed to have duplicate pages removed?
Is there some way of sorting, so duplicates are 'grouped' can be deleted in a more convenient way, rather than scrolling thru entire PDF back and forth.

These are fairly large (150-200 pages) PDF files from scanned documents.

Detecting duplicates is a major challenge. Can't see a simple way.

ALSO, they won't actually be duplicates; the scanning might be 0.1 mm different and rotated by 0.5 degree, which would make the contents of the page absolutely different (as a graphic).

Thank you.

Bad luck then. I was already afraid for this.
It was a 'long shot'. I was hoping that, based on OCR/Page recognition, keywords in pages, pages could be indexed and sorted based on some sort of similarity.

Anyway, thanks again.
