Jut looked on Popsike, someone sold a dubplate of Jah No Partial as described below. It sold for £43. in 2006. He gets the deejay wrong and its hard to determine whether you get the full deejay and the dub or just the dub.

ALL TIME 70s HEAVYWEIGHT STEPPERS DUBPLATE PRODUCED BY AUGUSTUS PABLO, WITH PRINCE POMPIDOO (IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN) ON VOCALS, TOP SHAKA SELECTION FROM EARLY DAYS! THE DUB ON THIS IS SEROUSLY HEAVY!

the version (without prince M lyrics) is also featured on augustus pablo album 'chanting dub' entitled 'jah dub'

i wouldnt be amazed if there were some dubplate cuts of it in existence tho...
Assume you mean this album

[cover=1352,1555]

This is one well heavy and essential dub album and was, I thoght, actually produced by Everton Da Silva.

I was just reading about how George Nooks got the name Prince Mohammed:

"there was a name change which affected Nooks negatively at first. He was handed a Disco 45 of Zion Gates/Forty Leg by someone who was involved in the pressing of the record and, instead of George Nooks, he saw Prince Mohammed. Upset, he went to engineer Errol Thompson. "He said is alright. That is your deejay name, different from the singer," Nooks told The Sunday Gleaner."

That was in 1977, I was curious if anyone knows of any DJ tracks by George Nooks before he received the name Prince Mohammed?
