There's none, as far as I can tell.
Up to Forms 3.0 (ancient history), source files were pure textual .INP files so you could have easily compared them with any decent text editor (such as today's Notepad++).
Since then & nowadays, .FMB (Forms Binary source) files are binary so you can "compare" them, but I wouldn't expect them to be equal anyway.
You can even edit them (.FMB files, I mean) with a text editor and search for SELECT statements within, but that's manual job, not easy, you'll probably see some "duplicates" which don't exist when you open the form in Forms Builder.
Therefore, I think you're out of luck, but wait for someone else's opinion.
