Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

The clusters (enumeration areas) in successive surveys are different. The codes assigned (e.g. 1, 2,....) have nothing to do with the codes or numbers or labels in the sampling frame. They are not even in the same sequence. If anyone is actually assuming continuity from one survey to the next, they are making a serious mistake.
