setq-local would be a good idea.
But I do not understand how you think in this case. Are not the
variables above always meant to be buffer local?
Looking at some code that is a bit older it looks like some of it uses
make-local-variable where it is not needed since the variables in
question are always buffer local. From that I draw the conclusion that
the code in Emacs uses make-variable-buffer-local more often now. Is not
that the case?
