Non-biblical historians have made the distinctions between the Land of Punt and the Kingdom of Kush.
They were the same people but living in neighbouring two kingdoms.

"The dark complexions and clothing types of Punt, shown in Egyptian representations, correspond to the depictions of the people of Kush. Also, the fact that the Egyptians frequently traveled to Punt, since the Old Kingdom, suggests that it couldn't have been too far away.
Moreover, recent research provided more specific indications on the geographical location of Punt. Closer examination of the fifteenth century BC Egyptian expedition suggests that Punt fell in the coastal region, between the present Sudanese towns of Tokar and Port-Sudan. The inland extension of Punt appears to have been in central Sudan. The products brought from Punt —such as myrrh-trees, elephant tusks, and live animals like giraffes and leopards—are found in the tropical region of central and southern Sudan.

The animals and products of Punt, encompassing elephants and giraffes, were probably brought from the flat savannah environment of South Sudan. There is no evidence that the land of Punt has included regions in what is today the country of Ethiopia. The rugged topography of the Ethiopian plateau could not have supported the type of savannah animals associated with Punt.
Throughout history, eastern Sudan has been a major region for mining and quarrying activities. Because of that, the Egyptians and the Kushites have taken interest in "the mining-region of Punt".2
Sources indicate that the Egyptians did not necessarily travel to Punt to import products. For example, it is written in the inscriptions of Pepi-Nakht that the Sixth Dynasty Egyptian king Pepi has led a full military expedition to rescue a nobleman taken captive from Nubia to Punt.3
The area of Kassala, in the central part of eastern Sudan, has recently been identified as an important archeological site for the so called Gash culture—2300-1700 BC.4 The archeology of the area suggests that Kassala was "an important commercial partner of the early Kerma state (ca. 2500-1500 B.C.)" and "inland gateway to the Land of Punt".5"
