You should be able to paste using the (annoying, yes) CUA key Shift-Ins vs.
right mouse button.

I think the only way to know for sure you're under putty is to change your
putty configuration to set/send a custom environment variable that you can
test. I do not recall one that it sets/sends by default beyond TERM which
is "xterm" and that's obviously insufficient.
