I remember that you already set custom export for your source blocks.  So
how about just mirroring that?  E.g.

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :exports results :results value code
echo "Hello_world"
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
Hello_world
#+END_SRC

BTW: All headers are documented here:

The thing is :wrap doesn't play nicely with :results, but I cannot specify
how I expect them to behave.

It's a special block, so e.g. org-latex-special-block.  But contents is
already transcoded by the time in arrives to e.g. org-latex-special-block.
To the extend this should be fixed, one way would be to allow a raw option
to special blocks (also needed for e.g. #+{begin,end}_equation) and have
babel insert it as needed.  I don't know how easy this is.
