Where did Nanavira Thera deviate from the commentaries

Most of it is available in his Notes on Dhamma, and some more in the Letters. In other words, anyone interested is welcome to do their homework. Some examples:
CittavΔ«thi, ... of which so much use is made in the Visuddhimagga ... is a pure scholastic invention and has nothing at all to do with the Buddha's Teaching
...
... the erroneous notion of anuloma-gotrabhu-magga-phala, supposed to be the successive moments in the attainment of sotΔpatti. It is sometimes thought that the word akΔlika as applied to the Dhamma means that attainment of magga is followed 'without interval of time' by attainment of phala; but this is quite mistaken.
...
Phassa, 'contact', is defined ... as the coming together of the eye, forms, and eye-consciousness ... But it is probably wrong to suppose that we must therefore understand the word phassa, primarily at least, as contact between these three things.
