Does any language have both prenasalised and truly voiced plosives? (Either contrastive or complementary distribution)

By truly voiced do you mean to exclude implosives?

Yes, though implosives are voiced, I understand them to have further properties that make them different. I mean plain truly voiced egressive plosives.

Sorry. I'm unable to help much then.

Well, I'm looking for evidence to falsify my hypothesis. If it stands, all the better,
