i) This is simple: just create the two b-files for A066856 and A054990
and run a diff over these. To paraphrase: whoever takes on this computational
task might create these two b-files as a by-product.

ii)
Scanning of
http://www.leyland.vispa.com/numth/factorization/factors/factorial+.txt
should give the answer up to n=400.  The corresponding link in A066856
http://www.leyland.vispa.com/numth/factorization/factors/factorial+
contains a typo.
