Roman, I searched out a couple meteorites for representative R and EH for comparison. Take a look...these are on Eric Olsen's site.
R 2+g slice http://www.star-bits.com/listphotos/nwa753wt4-74a.JPG EH 1.5 g slice http://www.star-bits.com/listphotos/EH3wt1-89a.JPG It doesnt clear it up, but the difference is that the EH would be attracted to a magnet and the R would be practically be dead to it.
