Although the request is strange, as the source file won’t be able to be determined, all unmatched records are to go to a separate output file.
Why are sequence numbers used to sort two files?

How to merge two files based on the matching of two columns?
How to merge two files based on the matching of two columns? Which means to put the 4th column of file2 to file1 by the name of the 2nd column. Important: this assumes your files are sorted (as in your example) according to the SNP name. If they are not, sort them first:
How to compare two columns with same content in Excel?
