I confirm that a new host key (certificate) can be generated from a different device, copied to the Kindle and then the fingerprint matches what is stated when the host key was generated.
As there is no ssk-keygen on the Kindle I generated the new host certificate on a Raspberry Pi with:
$ ssh-keygen -h -t rsa -f ssh_host_rsa_key
-h switches to host certificate rather than the user certificate
Then copied the ssh_host_rsa_key file to /mnt/base-us/usbnet/etc
Rebooted the Kindle
The connecting from my ssh client the expected fingerprint matched the one for the host key just generated.
Previous confusion now resolved. Thanks to all for the help given in this thread.
