UVC provides timestamps in the data packets to help synchronising clocks. 
However, there is no way I know of to synchronise two (or more) cameras. UVC 
doesn't provide a mean to start streaming at a given time. Even if it did, 
differences in clock frequency between the two webcams would result in a slow 
drift.
