This seems unnecessarily complex to me. Using the standard library to
put an element to a String in base 16, then stripping the "16#" from
the front and '#' from the end seems simpler, clearer, and less error
prone.

The PragmAda Reusable Components include Image functions with optional
Width, Zero_Filled, and Base parameters that do not include any base
indicator in the image. See PragmARC.Images and PragmARC.Images.Image.
