Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
India files with "74" as the 5th and 6th letters of the file name are NFHS-4 Files with "7D" are NFHS-5. These are completely different surveys, with different clusters, households, and individual. You cannot merge the KR file from one survey with the IR file from a different survey.
Moreover, within a survey, the records in the KR file (children) carry along almost all the variables from the IR file (the mothers). You almost never need to merge the KR and IR files from the SAME survey.
