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

The variables you want ARE in the PR file. They have the same names except that "w" for women is replaced with "m" for men. That is, the variables are mbp9, etc.

This survey did not include interviews with men, but during the household survey, biometrics were indeed obtained for men as well as women.
