Combine all tuna, capers, mayonnaise and fresh lemon juice in medium bowl.
Season with pepper. Cut each bread loaf crosswise into 3 pieces, then halve each piece lengthwise. Pull out centers of bread pieces, leaving ½-inch-thick crusts. Spread olive paste on inside of each bread piece.
Cover olive paste with generous amount of arugula. Spread ½ cup tuna mixture onto each bottom piece of bread. Top with sliced tomato and sliced onion, then with top pieces of bread. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead.) Serves 6.
