Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:

HV001 is internal to the survey, which means that HV001 in any survey does not necessarily correspond to the same HV001 in another survey, even within the same country.

You might want to consult the implementing agency for the common enumeration areas since they might be different between surveys. The implementing agency is mentioned in the final report of the survey, and reports can be downloaded from the website.
