According to this article: www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/05/testing-for-windows-phone/

As Microsoft acknowledged in the past, the version of Internet
Explorer found on mobile devices is similar but not identical to the
desktop browser version. There are a few key features that are not
available on Windows Phone: HTML5 touch drag-and-drop support (demo).
Videos which use the Encrypted Media Extension will not play on
Windows Phone. CSS Touch Views other than overflow:scroll CSS3
hyphenation is also not available These are all rather minor features
but you still need to know about the rendering differences and take
these into account.

As far as I know, the Internet Explorer found on Windows Phone uses the same engine as the desktop version of IE. I think the only difference between them is the viewport/screen sizes that they'll be viewed on.

I think really you can test mobile sites on the desktop version of IE the same way you would with Safari, just resize the screen.
