I'm not sure if an explosion typically displays 'obvious' Earth Release elements, but regardless of the fact, Explosion Release is a Kekkei Genkai with the elemental pairing already known. We do not know the elemental pairing between Crystal Release, or Typhoon Release, but it's quite clear either one has a inclination toward one element over the other. That, to me, convinces me enough that they couldn't be a Kekkei Tota. It's obvious because Sasuke was able to defuse Deidara's Explosion release constructs with electricity during the manga. He even realized that he was able to do the BECAUSE they had Earth Release elements.
