there is no such thing as "SuiteB ECC but with Camellia and Whirlpool"

Suite B *is*:
384-ecc, sha384, aes256 - cleared for up to TOP SECRET use
256-ecc, sha256, aes128 - cleared for up to SECRET use

with both also being suitable for non-classified (sensitive) use.


What you *could* have is "_OpenPGP ECC_ with Camellia and
Whirlpool _at equivelent strength to the SuiteB cipher suites_"
