In case these is any question remaining, the man page for diskutil leads me to this script which returns exactly what I need ...

on run
tell application "Finder"
try
set diskList to (disks whose local volume is true and ejectable is true) as alias list
on error
set diskList to {(some disk whose local volume is true and ejectable is true) as alias}
end try
repeat with adisk in diskList
"diskutil info /Volumes/" & (name of adisk) & "/"
set uuid to do shell script the result
--
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"UUID:"}
set uuid to text item 2 of uuid
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
set uuid to (text item 1 of uuid)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {space}
set uuid to last text item of uuid
--
display dialog uuid
end repeat
end tell
end run

I am amazed that I still have to use the try-block to work-around AppleScript's inability to get a one item list.
