Sudoku Mastermind
Inspiriation for this type comes from Sudoku GP 2019 (Czech and Slovakia round).
Solve online in F-Puzzles (thanks RockyRoer!)
Apply classic sudoku rules. The central grey 3x3-block serves as a reference. The four corner blocks are compared to the central one and the result of comparison is given in the style of a Mastermind puzzle for every triplet of cells. A black dot is given for every identical digit in the same position. A white dot is given for every identical digit but not in the same position. A cross means that there is nothing in common in this triplet.
Solution code: Row 1, followed by row 9.

@Richard, suppose there are two identical digits in the same positions in a corner box and in the central box. Will there be two black dots?

Answer: yes there are. I have fixed the link to the example puzzle. There you can see multiple dots in case more digits are in the same positions.
Thanks once more for all your efforts making SVS-puzzles available online!
