For each of these surveys I would open the relevant individual dataset and tabulate the variables.
For example, for Cambodia 2000 a simple tabulation of v127 shows that code 41 means "House boat", and that in 2005 and 2010 it is labeled "Floating house", which is presumably the same thing.
Similarly for Azerbaijan 2006 code 40 means "ruberoid/asbest". If you search for Ruberoid on google you will find an explanation of this type of roofing. Asbest sounds like an abbreviation of asbestos. This category appears to be an extension of the codes for "finished" roofing as all codes between 31 and 39 are also used.
Tabulating the Peru 2004-08 data shows that code 41 means "no roof". I didn't check the other datasets for Peru.
I would similarly tabulate v705 from the individual datasets to check the codes that you do not have labels for.
