file name transformation

I've got a multitude of text data files that carry exactly the same kind of data. Unfortunately some of them have a different filename format

some are: 'category'_'month'-'year'_act.txt

an example being: daf_Apr-1961_act.txt



and some are: 'category'_ 'year'-'month'_act.txt

an example being: daf_1961-04_act.txt


any suggestions for transforming the former to the latter?
