Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

When measurements of children are included in the household part of a DHS survey, ALL children on the household roster are measured, regardless of whether their mother is still living or is in the household. Those measurements will appear in the PR file. The measurements will re-appear in the KR file with the exceptions I mentioned earlier.

There is one other reason why you may not get a match with the report and I should have mentioned it earlier. Tables in the report (and statistics in STATcompiler) derived from the PR file are usually limited to de facto cases (hv103=1). Please try again with a restriction to the children in the PR file who have hv103=1. (There are a couple of tables, e.g. the one on survival and coresidence of parents, that are limited to de jure cases (hv102=1) because they are in parallel with MICS tables, which are always de jure rather than de facto.) The de facto restriction is now my best guess at why you are not getting a match and I do apologize for not mentioning it earlier.
