There are other verses that the WT does not mention where the J references use Jehovah. (source) [TODO: It would be good to find pictures of these verses from the J references.]
When Peter refers to Jesus when quoting Psalms, the J versions use Jehovah whilst in this case the NWT chooses not to.
Psalm 34:8 “Taste and see that Jehovah is good, O YOU people; Happy is the able-bodied man that takes refuge in him.”
1 Peter 2:3
(J13, J14) “If you have tasted the kindness of the Lord Jehovah”
(NWT) “provided YOU have tasted that the Lord is kind. 4 Coming to him as to a living stone, rejected, it is true, by men, but chosen, precious, with God.”
Psalms 102:25 is quoted at Hebrews in reference to Jesus. In this verse from Hebrews it is the Father that is talking to Jesus. The J versions have the Father referring to Jesus as Jehovah, something the NWT obviously has chosen to avoid doing.
Hebrews 1:10
(J-8) “Thou, Lord Jehovah, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of thy hands”
(NWT) “And: “You at [the] beginning, O Lord, laid the foundations of the earth itself, and the heavens are [the] works of your hands.”
Also compare Zechariah 14:3-4 with Acts 1:11,12
