":b {bufname}" tab-completion uses whole filepath

I use ':b' quite often. And I use a substring of the bufname to jump to
that buffer. Works quite well.

But a problem is that the substring I provide isn't only matched with
the buffer names but also the filenames. See these examples:

:ls
1 #h "example\predict.py" line 25
2 a "deeplog\deeplog.py" line 0
4 %a "example\train.py" line 37
:b deep<tab>

Then when I type ":b deep<tab>", the matches shown are:

E:\projects\log-parsing\deeplog\example\predict.py
deeplog\deeplog.py
E:\projects\log-parsing\deeplog\example\train.py

We can see that vim is matching the filepaths instead of only the buffer
names. Can I change this behavior? Preferably with vimscripting, but
I'm willing to change source code too since I use this too often.

To be clear: I want only this match to be shown:

deeplog\deeplog.py
