Per manual page 205, [n2], [n3] and [n5] are per day. [N4] and [n6] are probably per day as well, but I say that with less certainty; the manual is ambiguous on this point. Nor does it say why supply is required, while fuel is requested. I would speculate that this is because the system can calculate with some certainty the amount of supplies that would be consumed per day, given the number of LCUs present and their operations mode, the number and types of aircraft present and their missions, and the amount of construction in progress. Calculating fuel needed is less clear-cut, as the amount of fuel needed would depend on the number of ships that happen to turn up and ask for it. This calculation would have to be based on some time frame, and for the sake of consistency I would say it is per day. (I'll be happy to stand corrected on this.)
On the LCU screen, "supplies required" is per month. The following passage appears in the Logistics 101 guide prepared by Alfred: "The average size of a fully built up Allied division is about 450 AV. [...] A division of about 450 AV, which is not engaged in combat will consume approximately 1500 supply points monthly, or 50 daily. A brigade of approximately 150 AV not engaged in combat will consume approximately 500 supply points monthly." In light of this, examining the numbers given for some LCUs in my current game leads me to conclude that the "supplies required" number is per month.
