So you reject the magnetic field shape of a diamagnetic material
being deifferent from its steel counterpart?

I have heavy military 12 ft. SS whips, a magnet will stick to them ...

Then it is not fully efficient as a diamagnetic material.
You will note that the SS retains energy in its magnetic
condition via a hysteresis curve.

Let me qualify my remarks a bit more. Diamagnetic materials produce an
oxide on its surface
which controls the magnetic field but without retention of energy.
Stainless steel has chromium and nickel as part of its contents which
also produce an oxide on its surfaces. I would imagine that the
configuration of the magnetic field would be somewhat different and
the iron content would also retain magnetic energy instead of using it
for radiation.
