The biggest indication of the processing of the meat, is it's shiny / glazed appearance. As I am sure you know, when you slice a roast of beef, the slices (however thin) do not appear glazed or shiny -- the look like slices of beef. The slices will have texture, veins, fat, etc. -- Arby's meat has none of that.
As an efficiency -- Arby's most likely orders reformed (mechanically recovered) meat that is shaped is it can be easily and cost effective sliced. It is pre-cooked (not likely roasted by an traditional method), with flavorings / enhancers, and just has to be boiled / steamed when it is unfrozen at the outlet. Then placed on the slicer by minimum waged staff and put in a bun and sold.
