I gave you reference:

EmacsWiki: Indirect Buffers:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IndirectBuffers

Where it says:
--------------

It seems one can also set the mode from a fake buffer-file-name (using
auto-mode-alist in the usual way). At least with Emacs v20. So a
fake-file-name of say “x.el” will result in emacs-lisp-mode.

     (with-current-buffer the-indirect-buffer
       (set 'buffer-file-name fake-file-name)
       (set-auto-mode) ; in files.el
       ; (set 'buffer-file-name nil) doesn't appear necessary.
       )

Does using fake file name works?
