You can get part way just by using a table.

#+NAME: as-org
#+BEGIN_SRC org
#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment figure
| [[file:./testa.png]] | [[file:./testb.png]]  |
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var y=as-org() :wrap latex
(org-export-string-as y 'latex t)
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var y=as-org() :wrap html
(org-export-string-as y 'html t)
#+END_SRC


With ob-org.el loaded, the two elisp blocks will produce tables of images 
in the latex and html backends.

Some further work is needed to adjust the `width=...' of the latex result
and to put captions in the right places in both latex and html.

Using the babel blocks makes it easy to see what might be needed.

In the end, I expect a filter would be used rather than babel blocks.

HTH,
