I think that "Earthites" would have a very high amount of Maskelynite should plagioclase be present in the parent rock. The impacts from earth would be so energetic as to create more of this mineral than in Martian meteorites.
The atmospheric composition would then, just as the case with Martian meteorites, reveal that such rocks are indeed from earth and are thus "Earthites."
