In case you want more details about the differences, you could also use 
difflib...

from difflib import SequenceMatcher

seq1 = [tuple(row.values()) for row in resultproxy1]
seq2 = [tuple(row.values()) for row in resultproxy2]

sm = SequenceMatcher(a=seq1, b=seq2, autojunk=False)
print(sm.get_opcodes())
print(f'similarity: {sm.ratio()}')

assert sm.ratio() == 1  # example to ensure results are equivalent
assert sm.ratio() == 1, sm.get_opcodes()  # pytest syntax to show the 
opcodes if the assertion fails
