Bash to match and store numerical prefix to update files

In the bash below the unique headers of each vcf.gz are stored in a text file with the same name. There can be multiple vcf.gz in a directory, usually 3 files, that I need to fix the header in each file before further processing it. My question is how can I match each text file (using only the numerical prefix) with its vcf.gz and pass the stored variables of each to the reheader code (# edit the header) ? Thank you :). I apologize for the long post just trying to include all the details.

The steps for the bash are below:
 1. vcf.gz created (#gunzip files) - works as expected
 2. unique undefined annotations for each vcf.gz - creates the _header.txt file but doesn't strip off the prefix
 3. match and store vcf.gz as $file1 and .txt as $file2
 4. run the bcftools reheader
 5. repeat for other files

There are always 3 vcf.gz files in the following format below in the directory:

 Files in /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/test
 16-0000_File-A_variant_strandbias_readcount.vcf.gz
 16-0002_File-A_variant_strandbias_readcount.vcf.gz
 16-0005_File-A_variant_strandbias_readcount.vcf.gz

The numeric prefix of each is always 7 characters xx-xxxx and unique. The portion of code in the portion of code below up until the # match files uses each vcf.gz file to create a corresponding .txt file with only the unique numeric prefix followed by _header.

Files in /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/test (if code works as expected)

16-0000_File-A_variant_strandbias_readcount.vcf.gz
16-0002_File-B_variant_strandbias_readcount.vcf.gz
16-0005_File-A_variant_strandbias_readcount.vcf.gz
16-0000_header.txt
16-0002_header.txt
16-0005_header.txt

I am trying to match the 16-0000.vcf.gz with the 16-0000.txt and read 16-0000.vcf.gz into $file1 and 16-0000.txt into $file2.

These two variables $file1 and $file2 would be passed to the reheader command (# edit the header), below which is part of a loop.

After the $file1 and $file2 are processed for 16-0000, the process is repeated for the remaining two files, 16-0002 and 16-0005.

There is only one directory that contains the files and that is /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/test. The numerical prefixes are not being stripped off and used to perform the match between files nor are the variables being passed to reheader. I hope this is a start, but there probably is a better way. Thank you :).
