Not sure, if the 4k or so UA strings for just a SINGLE device as mentioned
are all unique, but if those were stored in an RDBMS or similar DB, then a
unique constraint between UA string and an attribute like device name/id
would do to filter out identical duplicates.

In such cases, not the XML device information a generic ID (either just a
number or something like UUID) may work, but that's up to a DB whatever
works there?
