Glad I could help. Re follow-up questions:

1. Yes, that is fine if you are doing the surveys separately, but if you are merging them you'd need the new identifiers that include survey year.

2. Yeah - you could just add some numbers on the end of the PSU for survey year or round or whatever...just anything that makes the values of the variable unique by survey round. But of course if you do each survey separately, you can just use the code you have (assuming that strata are defined that way in your particular surveys...sometimes strata definitions change, but it is usually done in region-by-urban groupings, which I think is what you have there.
