That application and terminology are used more for API-12F tanks. API-650 tanks will normally have a gauge hatch if needed for sampling, and a separate vent nozzle and/or a separate emergency vent manway or nozzle.
 
"Thief hatch" & "gauge hatch" are one in the same, we use both terminologies in the oil fields I work in ...just depends on who you’re talking too.
