insert Calendar Year
Explanation:
The abreviation CY can have two different meanings: Cyprus and Calendar Year; since it is mostly related to months (Nov, ...), the latter (Calendar Year) is the best equivalence.

insert nov cy
A supplement to a magazine; November, current year


Explanation:
This is what immediately came to me.

The magazine comes out once a month. Nov CY is the November issue of the current year.

The "insert" can be one of the "bingo cards" as they are called here in the USA. They are loose stiff postcards that have the magazine subscriber's info on them and allow the subscriber to circle the numbers corresponding to the advertisements that he is interested in. Then he gets more targeted info.

neutral  Sheila Wilson: I agree with everything apart from the CY. I just can't see why they'd need to add "current year" to Nov and not to Oct

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: agree with November but like Sheila am unsure about "CY". Capitals imply these are initials of name??

insert nov cy
insert of november edition is in copy process


Explanation:

I think the pattern is like this:

dimension: 6x9 - 3.5X8.5
print type: postcard - insert
month: oct - nov
processing: mail out - cy

One of the long forms of cy is copy. Yet, I am not so sure whether it means being duplicated (mass copied), or designed (copywriting).

neutral  Sheila Wilson: It can stand for calendar year, and it is after November, but does it make any logical sense?
