There is nothing like a SyncML contact format. SyncML is only a  
transportation protocol. The vCard standard is usually used as an  
intermediate format to exchange contact data between the different  
synchronization endpoints and their native formats.

It's up to you and your Turba configuration what is being used for the  
UID attribute. Most important is, that it doesn't change, otherwise  
it's not an UID.
