Yeah...but it is a rather complex command and requires a powerful shell (I'm using ksh). We need a pattern that will match those 4 files and only those 4 files. I will assume that 01.AR.* will do that.
Code:
$ ls *AR*
01.AR.asset     01.AR.asset.vf  01.AR.asset.xv  01.AR.index
$ for i in 01.AR.* ; do mv $i 73${i#01}.Z ; done
$ ls *AR*
73.AR.asset.Z           73.AR.asset.xv.Z
73.AR.asset.vf.Z        73.AR.index.Z
$

hpiinv

hpiinv(1)							      OpenHPI								 hpiinv(1)

NAME

       hpiinv - An openhpi sample application that shows resources' inventory records.

SYNOPSIS

	hpiinv [-D nn] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>] [-V] [ -X] [-a tag] [-h]
	hpiinv [--domain=nn] [--host=host[:port]] [--cfgfile=file] [--verbose] [--debug] [--asset-tag=tag] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       hpiinv walks the RPT (Resource Present Table) looking for resources that have Inventory Capability.  It displays all inventory records
       found.

       If no domain is selected, hpiinv uses a session with the default domain. The selected domain id must be configured via the
       openhpidclient.conf file specified in the environment.

OPTIONS

   Help Options:
       -h, --help
	 Show help options

   Application Options:
       -a tag, --asset-tag=tag
	 Set the asset tag to the specified string

       -D nn, --domain=nn
	 Select domain id nn

       -X, --debug
	 Display debug messages

       -V, --verbose
	 Verbose mode

       -N "host[:port]", --host="host[:port]"
	 Open session to the domain served by the daemon at the specified URL (host:port).  This option overrides the OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST and
	 OPENHPI_DAEMON_PORT environment variables.  If host contains ':' (for example IPv6 address) then enclose it in square brackets.  For
	 example: "[::1]" or "[::1]:4743".

       -C "file", --cfgfile="file"
	 Use passed file as client configuration file.	This option overrides the OPENHPICLIENT_CONf environment variable.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       For generic OpenHPI, there is *no* additional environment variable required.  For some devices; sahalee, mBMC; BMCONLY flag needs to be set
       for additional device characterization based on rdr.IdString.Data.
