Old version:
The following uses tcolorbox (which based widly on TikZ) for all positioning tasks (no further packages are required here) and TikZ for the ruler-annotations.
First: The unitlength u should be determined like here.
The method is based on to measure the dimensions of the raster boxes and thus to set the dimensions for the rulers, e.g.
% Image Ruler y
path let p1=($(LL)-(UL)$) in
pgfextra{ pgfmathsetlengthmacro{RasterboxHeight}{veclen(x1,y1)} }
[savevalue={h}{RasterboxHeight}];
pgfmathsetmacroNoYdiv{h/u} % Number of y dividions
Note: Should there not be a common x-ruler for both images, but two separate ones for the two images, the method is exactly the same, only some coordinates has to be changed.
Note: The paper color has been set lightly to gray to see the edges.
A. This is the case on a DIN A4 page with 2cm margins; which is probably useful if the document should be printable.
With defShowHelps{0}
B. If it is a purely electronic document and page dimensions are unimportant (and if scale=1 is mandatory for the images), and we comment in
geometry{paperwidth=15cm, paperheight=30cm, margin=0mm}% optional

New version:
New 1. Erasing horizontally withespaces.
With measuring out the image-widths like
pgfmathsetlengthmacroLeftWidth{width("ImageLeft")}
it can be used
tcbitem[remember as=LeftRasterbox, width=LeftWidth] ImageLeft
while setting raster force size=false for the tcbitemize-environment.
New 2. Customized x-rulers.
Adding some coordinates and putting in the measuring into the x-ruler-command
% Images Ruler x
newcommandxRuler[5]{
path let p1=($(#1)-(#2)$) in
pgfextra{ pgfmathsetlengthmacro{RasterboxesWidth}{veclen(x1,y1)} }
[savevalue={w}{RasterboxesWidth}];

draw[Ruler, transform canvas={xshift=0mm}] (#1) coordinate(X) -- (#2);
foreach n in {0,1,...,NoXdiv}{%%

}%%
foreach n in {0.1,0.2,...,NoXdiv}{%%
draw[transform canvas={xshift=0mm}] ([xshift=n*u]X) -- +(0,#5);

Instead of doing calculations using a constant, you can also use foreach with a list of pattern a/b,c/d,e/f—just do something like:
foreach leftelement/rightelement in {a/b,c/d,e/f}
In first iteration leftelement will be a, rightelement will be b.
In second iteration leftelement will be c, rightelement will be d.
In third iteration leftelement will be e, rightelement will be f.

What remains now is to have a loop, such that multiple images can be loaded, 2 per page.
Perhaps with
foreach i in {PictureIndexStartsAt,...,PictureIndexEndsAt}{defiPlusConstant{thenumexpri+16}- LEFT
includegraphics[width=textwidth]{./Pictures/XYZ-i.jpg} - RIGHT
includegraphics[width=textwidth]{./Pictures/XYZ-iPlusConstant.jpg} newpage
