Two rank-d complex vector bundles over CPd are isomorphic exactly when their Chern classes agree. Equality of Chern classes gives equality of their Chern characters; the Chern character is injective here because K0(CPd) is torsion-free. The bundles are therefore stably isomorphic, and stable cancellation for complex vector bundles applies because CPd has real dimension 2d.
