I'll take a stab.

This assumes you are using bash as your shell and that the files are
named correctly:

8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
for wav in *_L.wav; do 
  sox -M "$wav" "${wav%*_L.wav}_R.wav" "${wav%*_L.wav}_ST.wav"
done
8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
