Yes...and yes.
Nolan Porter is credited as NF Porter on the record.
I'm almost certain it was a B side.

Sensing a kind of desperate drive in these recordings,
Tony Wilson signed Joy Division to his new label and the group began working
with Strawberry Studio engineer Martin Hannett.
But not before a curious interlude. They fell in with Northern Soul DJ Richard
Searling who wanted them to record a cover of N. F. Porter's Northern Soul
classic "Keep On Keeping On" - which he planned to sell to the TK label, at the
time part of RCA. "We tried to do it but we're fucking hopeless at cover
versions," recalls Sumner. "We did do it in a way," says Hook. "We learnt the
riff - that's as far as we could get - and we used it on 'Interzone'."
