The sysUpTime value in a notification is the time that the SNMP agent has been running. This will not be coordinated between separate systems. (This value may also be affected by tweaks to the system clock). So no - this timestamp is not going to be useful in ordering events. You haven't said anything about the payload of these traps. If they include timestamp varbinds provided by the PTP module, then it's quite possible that the values will be more accurate. But the standard SNMP trap information won't really help you here.
