Are the files binary identical - ie not just different formats of
the same image, but identical files?

You can test this by running 'diff -q file1 file2' on two known
duplicate images.

If they're identical files, you can do:

md5sum * | sort | awk {'print $2 " " $1'}  | uniq -Df 1

And that'll list identical files for you. No ImageMagick required.
