Two things:

I've never used join, so you're probably going to get a better answer from someone else.

I didn't find the problem statement very clear, and looking at the data didn't help much. It appears that there isn't any commonality between the data. For example, are the first entries from the two files supposed to correlate?
1-0-0060122450000 0060122000550

Are the 00060122 numbers what you're trying to join on? If so, what is the desired output you're after?

Anyway, I experimented with join a bit and found the results could easily be sent through awk to simply print the fields you need. Maybe you should approach it like that.

If you post a more detailed description of what you're after it may help.
