No. The only noun here is {'oQqar}. {lupe'lu'pu'bogh} and {lumIQlu'pu'bogh} are relative VERB phrases and so you use {'ej}. Notice the difference between:
nISwI' HIch motlh HoS Hal qengwI' naQ tIq je lurarlu'bogh 'oH
tlhIngan nISwI' beH'e'
The Klingon disruptor rifle is a standard hand held disruptor,
attached to an extended power supply stock. S14
and:
romuluSngan Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh nejwI'
Romulan hunter-killer probe. KCD
SuDbogh Dargh 'ej wovbogh
The tea that is {SuD} and light. KGT
(one way to refer to yellowish or light-green tea)
You could repeat the noun and say:
'oQqar lupe'lu'bogh 'oQqar lumIQlu'bogh je
cut tubers and deep-fried tubers
but this would refer to two different types of tubers; e.g. two groups in different stages of preparation on your kitchen counter.
