In (1), your package source is in Metadata API format. In (2), your metadata is in SFDX (source) format. The two formats can be converted losslessly using the sfdx force:source:convert and sfdx force:mdapi:convert commands.

Typically any source you retrieve with commands like force:source:pull will be in SFDX format, while retrieves using tools like Workbench will be in MDAPI format.

In some contexts, such as deploying using a Metadata API client like Workbench, you would need to convert SFDX-format source into MDAPI format.
