Angular 1.x yields pretty well to ES6 (classes and so forth) which can have your angular 1.x project looking similar to 2.x, at least for controller definitions. This is a good example [1] and the somewhat equivalent ng2 example (with extraneous TS stuff) [2]. Both those projects are also good examples of Angular1/2 conventions like having an imports folder, api/ui separation of concernts, and so forth.

IMO neither of those examples are good benchmarks for Angular 1 or 2 because they have boilerplate for interop with MeteorJS. Plain Angular2 is much cleaner FWIW.
