This is not solving your original problem.  But the following might
spare you from some manual work.  It is a simple hack that uses
=imagemagick= to do the side-by-side composition.

* Generate some Test Images

#+name: test1
#+begin_src R :results graphics :file test1.png
  plot(1:10, 1:10)
#+end_src

#+results: test1
[[file:test1.png]]

#+name: test2
#+begin_src R :results graphics :file test2.png
  plot(1:100, 1:100)
#+end_src

#+results: test2
[[file:test2.png]]


* Place Images Side by Side

#+name: testsidebyside
#+call: sidebyside(im1=test1(), im2=test2(), outname="test1_test2.png") 
:results file

#+ATTR_LATEX: :height 4.5cm
#+results: testsidebyside
[[file:test1_test2.png]]



* Function for Side-by-Side Images Using =imagemagick=
#+name: sidebyside
#+begin_src sh :session none :results file replace :var im1="test1.png" :var 
im2="test2.png" :var outname="test.png"
  convert  "$im1" "$im2" +append "$outname"
  echo "$outname"
#+end_src
