Looking for works comparing Moses and St. Paul

Question

I've been reading the Epistles of St. Paul while doing Exodus 90, so kind of oddly going though both Exodus and the Pauline Epistles I've noticed some similarities:

Moses and Paul were chosen by God for a particular mission, that's not exactly unique in the Bible, but they both:

1. Moses and Paul were 'citizens' of different nation
2. Moses and Paul killed someone and went into exile
3. Moses and Paul had problems speaking, but wrote eloquently
4. Moses and Paul encountered God and something happened to their faces

Those are just four things I thought of off-hand and I'd like to know more. It's always seemed like New Testament characters needed more OT Types. And I'd like to know if there is anything to this notion.
