For the other direction, you can use the format!()
macro (Rust Playground):
fn main() {
let diff_str = "0x000fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff".to_string();
let diff_digits = diff_str.strip_prefix("0x").unwrap();
let diff = u128::from_str_radix(diff_digits, 16).unwrap();
let diff_bytes = diff.to_le_bytes();
let de_diff_bytes = diff_bytes;
let de_diff = u128::from_le_bytes(de_diff_bytes);
let de_diff_str = format!("0x{de_diff:032x}");
assert_eq!(diff_str, de_diff_str);
}
