This is how I do what I think you are describing. I just take off the
extension, and let (pdf)latex pick the extension it wants.
(defun ox-manuscript-remove-image-extensions ()
"Removes .png extensions from \includegraphics directives in an
exported latex file.
Run this from an org-buffer after you have exported it to a LaTeX file"
(interactive)
(let* ((org-file (file-name-nondirectory (buffer-file-name)))
(tex-file (replace-regexp-in-string "org$" "tex" org-file))
(tex-contents (with-temp-buffer (insert-file-contents
tex-file) (buffer-string))))
(message tex-file)
(with-temp-file tex-file (insert (replace-regexp-in-string
(concat "\\(\\includegraphics"
"\\(\[?[^\].*\]?\\)?\\)"
;; match optional [stuff]
"{\\([^}].*\\)\.\\(png\\)}")
"\\1{\\3}" tex-contents)))))
