Besides the fact that CDs that large are MUCH more rare. The LARGE
regmaglypts is the big tell. Canyon Diablos don't typically have large
smoother thumbprints like Campos do which is caused by ablation. CDs are
more "shrapnel" like, with sharp edges, ridges, and points. Typical of
an impact iron.
Campo del Ceilo meteorites are different in that MOST pieces are highly
thumbprinted/ablated, evidencing their high altitude breakup and
ablation which smoothes the outer surface.
Not an from explosive impact/explosive event which rips the iron to
pieces like the Canyon Diablos.

It's easy!
Just sell your Campos as Canyon Diablos.
