It's problematic of course due to the minute differences in play speed, but if you can set up a computer stream of the commercial one, and play a copy of your acetate on the hi-fi, differences can be spotted. You'll struggle with things to do with sound quality of course, like how prominent a guitar is in the mix, but if a guitar solo is different on each, that will leap out. Another thing I've done is play a CD and LP together, a few seconds out of phase. Set the amp so you can only hear the one which is running ahead, and when a distinctive feature is heard (a delayed word in the vocal, or a little guitar slide or something) switch the amp to the other deck and see if the same detail comes along on the other version. If not, it's a different take.
