Following is a response from DHS Senior Sampling Specialist, Mahmoud Elkasabi:

I would advise you to de-normalize the weight of the two survey. This would be the safest approach to use. It is fine to multiply the weight by (total number of residential households in the country in the year of the survey round)/ (total number of households interviewed in the survey). It would be even better to multiply the weight by (total number of adults 40+ in the country in the year of the survey round)/ (total adults 40+ listed in the survey).
