The bark is very shaggy if that's a good description. At the base its not but maybe a few feet away from the base the bark gets very loose and flaky.

Bur oak are typically small trees...
Not up here they ain't... we have massive Bur Oak.
It's not uncommon to see 5 and 6 foot diameter trunks, and heights approaching 100 feet.
But that aside... I agree the pictures in the OP are of White Oak, not Bur Oak.
I'm fairly confident Bur Oak don't even grow in New Jersey.

I'm fairly confident Bur Oak don't even grow in Jew Jersey.

Don't know about Joisy but lots of Bur Oak here, and I agree they are often big trees.
