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

Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to merge the KR/BR files with the PR file when b16 is missing. We have tried some elaborate methods to do this, but they cannot be guaranteed to work, mainly because of occasional age discrepancies in the two files and because there can be multiple children in the same household with the same age and sex, especially when there are multiple mothers in the same household.
