It is possible, but it will depend on the photos, and on some manual fiddling - so it is not possible to give an exact recipe - do more or less this:


Open the high-resolution photo
file->Open as layers...and open the low resolution photo on top of
it make the low resolution photo invisible in the layers dialog
resize and reposition if with the transform tools so that it matches
the phot bellow as close as possible
turn it visible again and make it translucent.
now, duplicate the high-resolution layer so that you can always have
an "out of order undo" for your edits - you will work on the second
layer, and if things go bad, just copy/paste/clone parts of the
lower layer on to it
Now, it is fiddling: try putting the low-resolution photo in "color"
mode instead of "normal" in the layers dialog
remove the text artifacts within the work layer, either with the clone healing
tool, or with the cloning tool, on the "registered mode", settting
the low resolution layer as source. Do this editing until the final
result satisfies you.
