So I want to find the resistance of SS solarforce body vs a Aluminum body.
Using IR meter on xtar vp4 plus measured 29mΩ on just battery;
measuring aluminum host and battery in series I get 35
mΩ;
measuring stainless host and battery in series I get 62mΩ.

Can I deduce that AL host is 6mΩ and
the SS host is 33mΩ?

Your maths is correct, but I wouldn't accept the actual measurements as definative.
If I were you, I'd take about 5 measurements and average them out, discarding the ones that are way out of line.
IR measurements are renowned to be a bit spooky due to the resistance between the probes and the surface.

Thank you for the reply's I am just looking for ballpark readings so I will do an average of a few readings.
