Why do you care? Is there a specific problem you're trying to diagnose? Since the merge logic wasn't identical (almost guaranteed), the sizes of the files are unreliable since they include deleted documents which are compacted on merging.
So, you can try an optimize and compare immediately afterwards. That should give you a general sense. Otherwise, be absolutely sure that the schema definitions haven't changed. What versions of Solr? Be sure DocValues isn't different (that's recently become a default, and you haven't told us _which_ versions of Solr you're comparing).
