One must always take into account that the style that Yang Chengfu did comes form Yang Luchan which came form the Chen Family. And when looking at and comparing styles you must do your best to do that in an unbiased matter, but it is not easy since the majority of what you see comes from Chengfu.
However I am finding that there are still people practicing the Yang style of Yang Shaohuo and Yang Banhuo (both pre-Chengfu) but it is rare and mostly in China.
There are a lot of politics around why this version of Yang went away and the current Yang Chengfu version is around and growing but that is the stuff of a whole other post. One to be honest I do not want to get into because it would only end badly and it is for the most part based on theory and conjecture. The fact is all those that really could answer this, Chengfu, Shaohuo, Banhuo, Manching are all dead and the Yang family is not really talking about this much these days
