It is possible using this package to get the first output using \autoref.
Redefine the command \equationautorefname temporarily.
E.g.
\newlength{\abc}
\settowidth{\abc}{\space}
\newcommand{\NoEqName}{\renewcommand{\equationautorefname}{\hspace{-\abc}}}
\newcommand{\EqName}{\renewcommand{\equationautorefname}{equation\space}}
and then use the command \NoEqName before the second reference and
behind it the command \eqName to return to the normal behaviour.
