I made this sighting because the plants looked different from the Hypochaeris radicata which I see by the million. Is it Leontodon saxatilis?

Could be. I'm not the most familiar with that species but the leaves of H. radicata can be quite variable. The nodding head in the second image makes me think you might be right

Its odd i agree, but honestly I'm leaning toward hypochaeris.

Leontodon saxatilis - nodding bud, unbranched stem, very hairy lobed leaves and hairs spreading
Hairs don't spread like that on H radicata
