You could try draw each of the paths into bitmaps and comparing them. Here are a few suggestions for doing the comparison. If nothing else this will put you onto the correct track for resolution. The following project can give you a head start but needs to be translated to objc or Swift. This answer on code review may also prove useful.

One suggestion that seems intriguing is trying to use kCGBlendModeDestinationOver to draw the bitmaps as a trace over each other and comparing the results.
