A little misunderstanding of MD5.
You  know for _*_sure_*_ if the SUM differs they are not equal.

You may _*_assume_*_ they like the same if the sum is equal.

As first test to know if you need investigation for 100% the
same files it is helpfull.
The real test could be done with i.e. a shell to diff or comp command.
