The numbers in the file name normally represent the data for that specific day on the month.
You can extract the data from the files with:
sar -f <filename>
The sa files are data files that can only be read an interrogated using the sar package. The sar files are just ASCII files that can be read with something like cat.

Why are you adding r? Do you mean -r?

See my files listed above. Some have a "r" in their name other don't. For example "sa22" and "sar22". I know now thanks to @Kusalananda that "sa2" generates these files (reports) but I don't know how to read them.

The sar files are just ascii files. You should be able to read them with cat.
