Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

You need to construct new variables for the clusters and strata, like this:

egen cluster_ID=group(survey v001)
egen stratum_ID=group(survey v023)

and use these new variables in svyset. Note that even if v023 is defined the same way in both surveys, you still need to distinguish between the two surveys. You do not need to alter the weights. Good luck.
