The simplest way is just to include a conditional in whatever script etc
you're applying via NodeExtraConfigPost, you can, for example, look at the
hostname of the box to derive the role, as compute is always called
overcloud-compute-N (or whatever you've set via the ComputeHostnameFormat
parameter, which you can make unique for computes).

There are probably several other ways you can determine the node type/role
but that's one of the simplest.

Hope that helps,
