Well. Orwell used a few different words.

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

But yes, apart from the words being slightly different, the sentiment is the same, so yes I suppose you could say that "Meet the new boss; same as the old boss" is a quote from Animal Farm.
