He is Roy but with the only real modification prior to the series is being more driven to be upgrade from side kick to full member of the Justice League. Any major changes would have too easily noticed and he would have to pass a telepathic scan at some point. Then you add three years of growth and experience and you get Red Arrow.

Of course how do we know for sure Red Arrow is the clone and not what we saw in the pod at the end of the series? We must remember how many misdirections their where in season one.
