The Jam covered several Beatles songs:
And Your Bird Can Sing
Rain
Slowdown (a cover of the Larry Williams tune that The Beatles covered on the Long Tall Sally ep)
Dave Gregory is actually the one responsible for The Beatles covers, he recorded 'I Am the Walrus' as Colin's Hermits for the German comp 'Without The Beatles' and Andy helped with the vocals for SFF (which can be found on Fuzzy Warbles 3)

There was a very cool band out of Boston called The Buddy System (did some indie releases) that covered Baby You're A Rich Man.
Also, Smith (not really NW, more R&B) did Baby It's You (which the Beatles covered)
As for Money, that was also a tune the Beatles covered.
Did the Jam do another Beatles tune? The ripped off Taxman of course (brilliantly, on Start!) but I thought they did She Loves You or something. Not sure ... anyone?
Last thing I can think of is Dave Gregory of XTC doing either Strawberry Fields or I Am The Walrus. I've never heard it (I'd like to!).
In the definitely not NW department (IMHO), Pat Benatar did Helter Skelter.
