This can be obtained as follows:
In[21]:=
common=Intersection[Most/@list1,Most/@list2];
DeleteCases[MapThread[If[MemberQ[common,Most@#1]&&MemberQ[common,Most@#2],\
Flatten@{#1,Last@#2},{}]&,{list1,list2}],{}]
Out[22]=
{{1, aa, 565, 34}, {1, bb, 566, 66}, {1, cc, 546, 5443},
{2, dd, 56, 76}, {2, ff, 56, 87}}
Note, this method assumes both lists are the same length and both have the common elements in the same positions. The second restriction can be removed by sorting the lists

In[23]:=
Select[list1, !MemberQ[common,Most@#]&]
Out[23]=
{{2, ss, 5}}
>Result THREE should be: the FIRST element OR the SECOND elements of

In[24]:=
Select[list2, !MemberQ[common,Most@#]&]
Out[24]=
{{2, mm, 87}}
