It appears from Deu 2:14-15 that the generation numbered at the former census had perished before the host crossed the brook Zered.

This site's exposition

These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar

on Numbers 26:63-65

This is the verse the book has been moving toward since Kadesh. Of the six hundred thousand men counted in the wilderness of Sinai there was not a man of them left, and the sentence passed at 14:29-30 is reported here as carried out. Two names are the exception, Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, the two who brought back the other report. Deuteronomy 2:14-15 says the last of that generation was gone before Israel crossed the brook Zered.

The goodness of God to this people, notwithstanding their provocations. Though that murmuring race was cut off, yet God raised up another generation, which was as numerous as they, that, though they perished, yet the name of Israel might not be cut off, lest the inheritance of the promise should be lost for want of heirs.

34 These are the families of Manasseh, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and two thousand and seven hundred. 35 These are the sons of Ephraim after their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthalhites: of Becher, the family of the Bachrites: of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. 36 And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites.

among these there was not a man . . . numbered . . . in the wilderness of Sinai--The statement in this verse must not be considered absolute. For, besides Caleb and Joshua, there were alive at this time Eleazar and Ithamar, and in all probability a considerable number of Levites, who had no participation in the popular defections in the wilderness.
