A combined impact-ejecta-dynamical model predicts a steady-state population of at least 70 lunar-origin Earth co-orbitals larger than 10 m, with orders-of-magnitude uncertainty, versus roughly 1600 from the main asteroid belt.

The steady-state population of Earth's co-orbitals of lunar provenance
A combined impact-ejecta-dynamical model predicts a steady-state population of at least 70 lunar-origin Earth co-orbitals larger than 10 m, with orders-of-magnitude uncertainty, versus roughly 1600 from the main asteroid belt.
