If you're going to diff listings like that, you at least need to pipe
the output through something like

  cut --complement -b 43-54 /tmp/initrd.img-4.19.0-9-amd64.out | sed -e 's/4.19.0.9/4.19.0.X/'

to strip the dates and kernel version. This will leave you with the
sizes. If you're looking for missing files, drop the -l, the cut, and
leave the sed.
