With extended pattern matching, available in recent bash, you could try
Code:
for f in !(*-*).pdf
   do CATEM=$(ls ${f%.*}*)
      echo $CATEM
   done
368363-2.pdf 368363-3.pdf 368363.pdf
368373-2.pdf 368373-3.pdf 368373.pdf
368389-2.pdf 368389.pdf

If the order is relevant, you'll need another step.
