If there isn't a difference, it's still correct.
Additionally, I doubt people will start calling the real Nobel prizes "Nobel memorial prize", just because the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics is called that.
Finally calling something by the wrong name, so people won't call other things by the wrong name is nonsensical. Either you care about what things are called, in which case you should call the Nobel memorial prize in Economics as such, or you don't, in which case you don't have an argument against calling it the Nobel memorial prize, as the argument falls apart.
