Gazza the song was recorded in England, in October 1970 according to Nico Zentgraf's site. Stills isnt listed as one of the additional personnel, so I would imagine its Mick Taylor.

Stills does play guitar on the released version of 'I'm Going Down' however, which comes from Olympic Studios on 14-15/7/70.

Seems unlikely he'd have played on two brief and separate sessions recorded four months apart

M.O.W.A.T. From Martin Elliott's book "The Rolling Stones: Complete Recording Sessions 1962-2002":

Potted Shrimp: "Again an instrumental but featuring one of Keith Richards' riffs extracted from his extensive repertoire. This time it has an air of familiarity. It worried Keith that a riff he thought to be new may in fact have been a sound taken from his subconscious. The sessions that produced these tracks were strongly influenced by Mick Taylor. It is his wah-wah lead guitar that rocks most of the track against the piano playing of Nicky Hopkins. Charlie Watts was beginning to sound like a heavy rock drummer pounding to keep up with the electric melodies."
