Usually "Yanks" (short for yankees"), mainly by the British.
G.I. meant government issue, and was mainly what we called our own soldiers. Dogfaces were more of a WWI term, I believe, but even if not, it was still an internal term.
I'm sure the Germans and Japanese had more colorful terms for us, just as we had for them.
