Im gonna take a wild leap that usr1, usr2 et al... are mount points...
If that is the case yes you can .... The mount point is only a pointer to the data...
You can umount usr3 and usr4 and then remount them as each other... Not sure of the exact syntax since I never used SCO, but it should be something like this:
umount /usr3
umount /usr4
mount <volume name> /usr4 ### old /usr3
mount <volume name> /usr3 ### old /usr4
Make sure that you modify your /etc/fstab, /etc/vfstab, or whatever it is called that contains your mount points and options, so your changes will be permanent and not revert back upon a reboot....

msdosfs
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)
NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
