Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
I just looked at the IR files for these surveys (ET41 and ET51) and did "label list V131" for both of them. I also did "numlabel, add" and "tab v131". As you say, the label in the 2000 survey is incomplete but it appears that the classification was the same in both surveys. Some categories do not appear in both surveys, but when they do appear, the frequencies are low, so it's plausible that in one of the surveys no one with such ethnicities would appear. I don't see evidence that the codes changed, but there's no way that we could confirm this. Perhaps you could check whether there was a census around the same time and find what codes it used. The surveys would probably have been consistent with the census.
