One way could be this (assuming no spaces in filenames and that day of month
is always the same in first and second occurrence):

cd /dir/wth/the/files
ls | awk -F'.' 'BEGIN {OFS="."}
{o=$0;$3=$8=sprintf("%02d",--$3)

rint"mv "o" "$0}'

if you are fine with the results, then just pipe the output to sh.

All the commands are tested with bash and GNU tools, so they may use
nonstandard features. I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if
I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome.
