Ian,
this may work for you.

<CFIF oldcompany IS newcompany AND LEN(oldcompany) IS LEN(newcompany)>
they are equal
<cfelse>
they are not equal
</CFIF>

Using compare() and compareNoCase() is really the right way. My only gripe
is that the returned value isn't very intuitive.

Just stick an alpha character in front of them when comparing or compare len
AND value.

I was considering that, but I felt sure there was a CF way to do this,
finally found the right documentation page compare().
<CFSET aVal = '033'>
<CFSET bVal = '0033'>
<cfoutput>
#aVal#:#bVal#
#aVal EQ bVal#
#aVal IS bVal#
#compare(aVal,bVal)#
</cfoutput>

Use the Compare() function, ie:
<CFSET oldcompany = '033'>
<CFSET newcompany = '0033'>
<CFOUTPUT>#(oldcompany EQ newcompany)#<BR>
#(Compare(oldcompany, newcompany) EQ 0)#
</CFOUTPUT>

You could tack a non-numeric value to the end of each, and compare the
resultant strings. There may be a better, and/or more elegant way, that's
just off the top of my head.

How would one compare these as strings and get a NOT equal result rather
then integers resulting in an equal result?
