cant really tell from pictures but just to be sure thats not a party wall you want to rest the lintel in as that gets more involved. as mentioned earlier you would would have to rest the end of the lintel on the inner leaf of the cavity wall and not extend into the cavity but it would need a minimum of 150mm(6") of bearing and at the moment the wall you would rest it on is only 100mm thick.
So you would end up leaving at least 50mm of the left side of the door in place to bear the lintel.
