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

DHS surveys do not include information that would identify the PSUs (clusters). The GPS files include the latitude and longitude of the clusters, with some displacement that is random but stays within the same administrative level 2 units. If you have the coordinates of the villages in your external dataset, you could merge them with the nearest cluster(s) in the DHS files. You could not be sure that you had a genuine match, but that's the best that is possible.
