I think it's some type of Antirrhinum (flowers in spikes - therefore not
Cymbalaria; flowers spurless (and leaves broad) - therefore not
Linaria).

Not sure, but a bit confused.

Subject is "Labiate ID". But if it's an Antirrhinum, then it's
Plantaginacae (or a Scrof in £.s.d...), not a labiate (Lamiacaea).

Or have I got that completely wrong?

I thought it might actually be a Cymbalaria, but believe you are right
that it isn't one.  The likely suspects here

form (never mind the flowers!).

This is haunting me, I feel I should know it.
Fleshy leaf making me think it grows in a fairly dry area.
Hairs to prevent to much water loss by wind.
Low growing, an exposed habitat?
