Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field, and let
$G^{\sharp }$ be the group of
$F$-rational points of an inner form of
$\text{SL}_{n}$. We study Hecke algebras for all Bernstein components of
$G^{\sharp }$, via restriction from an inner form
$G$ of
$\text{GL}_{n}(F)$.
For any packet of L-indistinguishable Bernstein components, we exhibit an explicit algebra whose module category is equivalent to the associated category of complex smooth $G^{\sharp }$-representations. This algebra comes from an idempotent in the full Hecke algebra of
$G^{\sharp }$, and the idempotent is derived from a type for
$G$. We show that the Hecke algebras for Bernstein components of
$G^{\sharp }$ are similar to affine Hecke algebras of type
$A$, yet in many cases are not Morita equivalent to any crossed product of an affine Hecke algebra with a finite group.
