I think you can concatenate the cluster with the household number to give you a unique HH ID, and that data should be in all recodes. If you have multiple years you could tack the year on as well to avoid repeats across years.
Do you have MV001 and MV002 (or V001 and V002)? If you generate a variable that is both of those put together, you should have a unique ID.
I haven't used these recodes and don't have one handy, but I think some version of 001 and 002 should be in all recodes. You can search for the "right" one or confirm that you are using the right variable by checking it against the recode manual (below):
