Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

These two types of housing are specific to India, at least with these names, so a survey-specific variable was added. If your interest is in these two types of housing, why not use the survey-specific variable?

If you want to find how the types are related to the standard variables for housing characteristics, I would suggest using the HR file (with households as units) and entering "tab1 hv213 hv214 hv215 if shnfhs2==1" and "tab1 hv213 hv214 hv215 if shnfhs2==2" and "tab1 hv213 hv214 hv215 if shnfhs2==3". These tables will show whether there are correspondences between hv213-hv215 and the categories of shnfhs2
