If you look at table 14.2, All basic from either source is 73.4, just as in table 14.3. The figure of 65.3 in table 14.2 is for vaccinations given in the first year life (by age 12 months), not all vaccinations given irrespective of time.

The calculation of vaccinations given in the first year of life is quite complicated. See the updated Guide to DHS Statistics and find Child Health, Vaccination. For vaccinations given by age 12 months, you are interested in indicator 4 (Percentage of children age 12-23 months who received specific vaccines by appropriate age) and in particular the Calculation section.
