My Raleigh has traditional cantilever brakes with an inverted 'V' shaped cable linking two arms.

I've recently bought another MTB for spares which has the more modern brakes with a cable going through a right-angled tube.

Would there be any advantage in putting these on my Raleigh?

I find V-Brakes (the newer sort) easier to set up.
You do need to use the right levers with them, so get those off the donor bike too.
