Yes. Specta between HED's and Vesta match up.

Actually, yes. There are at least 20 other asteroids that have specta matches
with the HED's.  It turns out though all of these other asteroids
are small, and they all have similiar orbits as Vesta.  So the conclusion
was drawn that these smaller asteroids are chips off the larger Vesta,
and Vesta is still the parent body of all of the HED meteorites.
