Here is one possible solution:
Code:
!/usr/bin/ksh
typeset -i mInd
set -A mAMon N/A Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
sed -e 's/-/ /g' -e 's/\(.*:..\).\{4\}/\1/' -e 's/\.\([0-9]\)/ \1/g' -e 's/\./ /2' inp_file |
while read mFld1 mDay mMon mYear mRest; do
  mInd=1
  while [[ ${mInd} -le 12 ]]; do
    if [[ "${mMon}" = "${mAMon[$mInd]}" ]]; then
      mOutMon=$(printf "%.2d" ${mInd})
      break
    fi
    mInd=${mInd}+1
  done
  echo "${mFld1} ${mYear}-${mOutMon}-${mDay} ${mRest}"
done
