Reduced-For(u)m is right in point 1 (actually in all 3, but point 1 is where the difference comes in). In the early DHS surveys (including Rwanda 1992) anthropometry was collected for children of interviewed mothers ("kids born to survey mothers"), but in later surveys anthropometry was collected for children listed in the household schedule. The children measured in the later surveys will match with children listed in the PR file, but will not match completely with children in the KR file for 2 reasons - 1) there are children in the KR file who do not live in the household, but are children of the respondent, and 2) there are children living in the household whose mother does not live in the household.
There is a variable in the HW datasets that indicates where the original data were collected. hwlevel contains this information, and code 1 is used for data collected for children of the household, and code 2 for children of interviewed women.
