Two options I can think of.

Create another query:

select 'Customer copy' what from dual union
select 'Department copy' from dual union
select 'Finance copy' from dual

Now go to Paper Layout Editor and create objects related to that query - a repeating frame should contain ALL objects you already have in a report, as it will repeat the same stuff 3 times, once for each copy type. At the bottom of that frame, create a field whose source will be the WHAT column from the above query.

Another option is to create user parameter (for example, PAR_COPY) which will be passed at the time report is called. Depending on its value, you'd display copy type at the bottom of a report (either as a text (and use of a Format Trigger), or a field).

The second option is worse because it would require you to run the same report 3 times (which might be time consuming).
