What tortoise is compatible with the desert tortoise?

I believe leopard tortoises are somewhat similar, although the coloring is much different and leopard tortoises are the 5th largest tortoises in the world. Actually, none, sorry. Desert Tortoises are all too often carriers of Mycoplasma Agassizii and other tortoise species have no built in defense against that. They are also very sensitive and susceptible to other tortoise species specific disease/parasitic issues and mixing of different species of tortoises is not recommended for just this reason. Groups specific to desert tortoises and their care, issues, etc. can be found in the related links.
