Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You can get the WHO Z-scores by merging with HW files that have been specially prepared for this purpose. The file of children with the "new" scores for the 1999-2000 survey is BDHW4IFL.dta. For the 2004 survey, it is BDHW4JFL.dta. Let us know if you have difficulty finding these files or doing the merge. I haven't checked these specific files, but the HW files often require some tricky unpacking of ID codes for the merge.
