How to replace cropped rectangle in opencv?

I have managed to cropped a bounding box with text, e.g. given this image:

I'm able to exact the following box:

with this code:

import re
import shutil

from IPython.display import Image

import requests
import pytesseract, cv2

"""https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/text-detection-and-extraction-using-opencv-and-ocr/"""
# Preprocessing the image starts
# Convert the image to gray scale
img = cv2.imread('img.png')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# Performing OTSU threshold
ret, thresh1 = cv2.threshold(gray, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_OTSU | cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV)

# Specify structure shape and kernel size.
# Kernel size increases or decreases the area
# of the rectangle to be detected.
# A smaller value like (10, 10) will detect
# each word instead of a sentence.
rect_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (18, 18))

# Applying dilation on the threshold image
dilation = cv2.dilate(thresh1, rect_kernel, iterations = 1)

# Finding contours
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(dilation, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,
                                                 cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)

# Creating a copy of image
im2 = img.copy()


for cnt in contours:
    x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(cnt)
    # Drawing a rectangle on copied image
    rect = cv2.rectangle(im2, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
    # Cropping the text block for giving input to OCR
    cropped = im2[y:y + h, x:x + w]
    
cv2.imwrite('image-notxt.png', cropped)
Image(filename='image-notxt.png',  width=200)

Part 1: How do I replace the cropped box and put back a clear text box? e.g. to get something like:

I've tried:

    for cnt in contours:
        x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(cnt)
        # Drawing a rectangle on copied image
        rect = cv2.rectangle(im2, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
        # Cropping the text block for giving input to OCR
        cropped = im2[y:y + h, x:x + w]
        text = pytesseract.image_to_string(cropped).strip('\x0c').strip()
        text = re.sub(' +', ' ', text.replace('\n', ' ')).strip()
        if text:
            # White out the cropped box.
            cropped.fill(255)
            # Create the image with the translation.
            cv2.putText(img=cropped, text="foobar", org=(12, 15), fontFace=cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_TRIPLEX, fontScale=0.3, color=(0, 0, 0),thickness=1)
            cv2.imwrite('image-notxt.png', cropped)
            Image(filename='image-notxt.png',  width=200)

That managed to white out the cropped box and insert the text like this:
