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

Another way to see that some men who were not in the men's survey had their height and weight measured is with " tab hv118, summarize(hb3)".

Adult height and weight were measured as part of the household survey, not as part of the survey of women or the survey of men. It appears that the selection of men for measurement of height and weight was unrelated to the selection of men for the men's interview. Yes, to get a larger sample size for your anthropometry analysis, you could safely include all the men who were measured, not just those who were also in the men's survey.

Note that for men who are eligible for the men's interview, the age range is 15-54, not 20-54, which you are suggesting.
