You are right that there isn't a published mapping between these various IDs. We will look into updating the API to provide a full mapping of these. I'm attaching a file here that provides the current mapping.

You will find included here the survey ID from the API, as well as the numeric ID, plus the range for the datasets (as version numbers change). For the dataset range, the first two characters are the country code, the next two are the dataset type (represented in this file as ??), and the next two are the phase and sequence/version number.

Let us know if you find any problems using this file.
