Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

The correct variable is usually v022, but you are right that it is often the same as v023 and also right to be suspicious if there are, say, 200 different values for v022. Usually the strata are the combinations of v024 and v025, i.e. what you would get from "egen strata=group(v024 v025)". If in doubt, check the report on the survey. Chapter 1 of the report should have a section called "Sample Design" that will define the strata.
