You do realize that as far as LDAP is concerned, those two postalAddress values are identical.  The matching rules for postalAddress are case insensitive.

Assuming that the mixed case one is what you prefer and the upper case one is what you started with - one has to ask, how was it changed on the one server and make certain that it was not done in a way that would not be sent through the syncrepl process.
