I'd probably do that with perl -ne and a quick bit of string or regex manipulation followed by a rename() call; above a certain level of complexity, I stop trying to do everything in sh/bash.
(If it's something I'll use six months from now, I'll pay the setup time price and do it in Python so I can read it six months from now. For a one-off one-liner, Perl is fine.)
